Autographed Ball Request

We are currently unable to provide autographed basketballs & footballs and not accepting applications at this time. 

 UK Athletics head coaches are pleased to sign autographs for the Big Blue Nation. However, due to several factors, including NCAA legislation and compliance issues, the increased unauthorized use, sale of autographed items and the volume of requests, the athletics department has followed the lead of many universities across the country and instituted guidelines for obtaining autographs to be used for charitable organizations and fundraisers. This process is for obtaining head coach’s signatures only. UK Athletics is unable to provide student-athlete signatures.

• Pre-purchased items may NOT be mailed in/dropped off for autographing or signature within UK Athletics.  Requests to individual coaches’ offices, Marketing Department, Media Relations or Ticket Office will not be accepted, as all requests must be made via the formal process listed on this webpage.
• Based on availability and compliance approval, autographed balls are sold at $50 per ball (limited to one ball per sport for each household/organization request per fiscal year) on a first-come-first-serve basis. The cost of the item(s) includes a ball provided and signed by UK and covers the cost of shipping via UPS.
• All charitable requests are for a good cause and UK Athletics is not in a position to determine is the worthiness of one cause over another. Because items from UK Athletics are in such high demand, with the numerous requests we receive each year for donations/autographs, we are unable to accommodate every request.
