But it puts UK in a tough position. Y'all mostly wanted Cal gone but not enough to tell Cal to go. The buyout is meaningless to programs of this size.
A $33M buyout is far from meaningless for any basketball program, it's BASKETBALL, not football. Even UK basketball doesnt bring in close to what top football programs do and top football programs also wouldnt just scoff off a $33M buyout for the most part.
Heck, using UK's own 2022 financial athletcis report. UK football brought in almost $49M in revenue, UK basketball only $31M.

Everybody was laughing because Arkansas lost their coach to USC, but now that Kentucky is on the hunt for a new coach, everybody is not laughing so much. Kentucky going after your coach is not a fun thing.

I think you're forgetting that paying a full buyout happens almost never.
