Big Blue Dispatch

Daily Update • November 9, 2026

Good morning, Big Blue Nation!

Today's issue comes with a quick personal note regarding the future of the Big Blue Dispatch daily newsletter.

After careful consideration, I’ve decided to sunset the daily email edition of the Dispatch. Running a solo, daily sports newsletter takes a considerable amount of behind-the-scenes effort every morning. Between excellent official coverage from UK Athletics and a crowded media landscape, there are plenty of daily inbox options competing for your attention. While web traffic on our site has been fantastic, newsletter subscriber growth simply hasn't matched that momentum to justify the daily output.

Here is the key takeaway: bigbluedispatch.com isn't going anywhere.

The website will continue running business as usual, aggregating UK sports news, updates, scores, and schedules every 15 minutes across football, basketball, and all Olympic sports. You can continue bookmarking the main site or following along on X (@BB_Dispatch) and Bluesky (@bigbluedispatch.bsky.social) to catch every headline.

Thank you to everyone who subscribed, opened, read, and sent feedback over the run of this newsletter. Sharing Kentucky sports with this community has been a privilege.

Go Cats! 🐾
