Michigan State's J Batt targeted for Kentucky AD position

J Batt, athletic director at Michigan State, is reportedly being pursued by Kentucky for its athletic director position, according to a report. Batt has only been in his role for over a year and was instrumental in initiatives such as founding Spartan Ventures and hiring football coach Pat Fitzgerald. His potential move follows the recent departure of Michigan State's president, Kevin Guskiewicz, which may influence Batt's decision. No agreement is in place as of now, but Kentucky is making significant efforts to recruit Batt. Updates on this situation are anticipated as talks continue.
