Rankings from AP Poll

The 2000 Kentucky Wildcats football team represented the University of Kentucky as a member of the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2000 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by Hal Mumme in his fourth and final season as head coach, the Wildcats compiled an overall record of 2–9 with a mark of 0–8 in conference place, placing last out of six teams in the SEC's Eastern Division. The team played home games at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington, Kentucky.

Mumme resigned in early 2001 following an NCAA investigation into recruiting violations.[1] The committee concluded that Mumme was innocent of any rules violations and did not receive any individual sanctions, though the committee said that Mumme failed to properly monitor the activities of the recruiting office.[2][3] While Mumme was found to be innocent, the program was found to have committed nearly 30 recruiting violations, mainly paying recruits, giving gifts to prospects, and writing papers for prospects.[4] The Wildcats were banned from postseason play for three seasons and lost 19 scholarships over the next three seasons.
