LEXINGTON, Ky. – Matthew and Jenna Mitchell have announced that they will pay the 2019 spring tuition for one UK student in attendance at Kentucky’s showdown with Virginia in Rupp Arena on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 8:30 p.m. ET. The announcement headlines this year’s promotional schedule for UK women’s basketball.
UK students will check into the Virginia game via the BBN Rewards app, which is sponsored by American Campus Communities. Students who check in at the Virginia game with a fully completed profile, including their student ID number, will be eligible to win. Students are also encouraged to enable notifications on the app to receive news about exclusive experiences, coupons and other important updates.
The app, which is available for download on Apple and Android devices, allows UK students to earn a variety of rewards for attending various UK Athletics events.
