Kentucky general manager Pat Biondo has announced he is leaving the Wildcats football program after only seven months on a job he took when following new coach Will Stein from Oregon. Biondo says it is a personal move and has asked people to respect what he called a tough decision. Kentucky athletics issued a statement saying Biondo informed officials of his decision to step down. Biondo was named general manager last December. He spent four years as the director of football recruiting strategy at Oregon, where the fifth-seeded Ducks reached the College Football Playoff last season. He also worked at Texas A&M and West Virginia.
