With speculation about Mitch Barnhart’s interest in the vacant Kansas athletics director job still running rampant, the current UK athletics director went to his Twitter account Wednesday to defuse any more speculation.

Two days after releasing a statement indicating he had not been formally contacted by Kansas, a statement that some said was far from a denial in his interest in the job, Barnhart took a more direct approach.

“Big Blue Nation: I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together, but we have a lot of unfinished business,” Barnhart said, via his Twitter account. “I plan to be here to see this great place achieve what it has never even dreamed ’til the battle is won!”
