Nick Roush

If those who can’t do, teach, those who can’t sports, write. The only son in a family of four who didn’t play Division I athletics, Nick Roush picked up writing in college at the University of Kentucky before marrying a former all-conference volleyball star. When he isn’t on the radio or covering Kentucky football, the Louisville native is cashing tickets at Churchill Downs.
