It was $100k and for Reeves, but that was from ksr, so it's suspect. Matt Jones hates Cal, and is on a witch hunt. That's why Cal ignores him.


Lulz, it was info from the guy that actually offered Antonio the NIL money.

If you don’t realize that that the Krafts are telling Matt Jones to start the “time for the separation from Cal”, then you’re clueless.

He was his usual arrogant condescending self on his show. He has done nothing wrong. I’m sure a couple sheep will be sacrificed- Matt Jones was alluding to some staff members spending more time at the bar than scouting.

The can has been kicked down the road. Next year at this time the same conversations will be happening.Barnhart is obtuse.

The fans got rid of Joker, let’s see if they can get rid of Cal.

I think Mitch is hearing it from the big time boosters. Let Mitch have the meeting with Cal, I don’t think it’s set in stone that he will be the coach next year.

Also, you would have to imagine that Mitch has put out some feelers to see if any coaches have interest in the job.

It will be an interesting 24 hours in Lexington.

Cal has pissed off the fan base with his bullshite lectures, he has pissed off the local media, he has no relationship with the AD and tries to operate on his own independent of the rest of the athletic department. We had the annual he is going elsewhere nonsense and his condescending attitude towards the SEC tournament and the fans.

Matt Jones is not Cal’s problem. Cal is.

You can be an arse but you better win big.

Good point. Just because Cal says he is coming back doesn’t mean it is a fact.

It’s awful quiet in Lexington. I am sure shite is going down more than we think. I bet tomorrow leaks will occur. No doubt in my mind, the Krafts told Matt to put out its time to move on from Cal to stir it up!

Not suspect at all. It’s the same guy that tried for a year to pump NIL money into the football program and was met with nothing but opposition from everyone at UK. It’s not hard to find out who he is if you look hard enough. He had a million dollar offer on the table for a bball player to return and never heard anything back. The reason for this is, all NIL contributions to basketball have to go through the coaching staff first before a player even knows about it. This was Cals rule. Also this was just before the announcement of “la familia” or whatever is the collective for basketball now. Matt jones may be a douche bag but he ultimately wants UK to be what it once was. Where did he touch you?

KYwildcatfan is probably an OG of Rupp Runts and has hate on with Matt for years. Hates him for his politics and his success.

Does not realize that he gets his info from the Krafts, Big Dog, and other inside the UK program.

To follow this thread, can someone briefly explain who the Krafts are? Obviously, a loaded family, but there’s more, I’m sure.

Football and basketball practice facilities has the Krafts name on it. That should tell you everything to know on who they are.

I have been following the Cats from childhood from tail end of Rupp’s years to the present. I have never seen the fan base this animated. Forget on line I am talking about people in public talking around the break room to restaurants and bars.

Joe Hall caught hell as did Tubby. But not this bad. May be because they were likeable. BCG caught it at the end but he was nuts. Plus you knew he was going to be canned. A lot of fans thought Sutton was railroaded by The UK President. Maybe not but the fanbase was not against him like I’m seeing now.
If Cal comes back and fails then there may be an open position for AD next year.

Do you think it’s so bad the crowds in Rupp will turn on the coaches (team, too?) if they screw up next year?

ETA Talking something like a 10 point loss to a mid-major.

Joe Craft is huge contributor to UK. He has big bucks (billionaire) from coal and other enterprises. His wife was US ambassador to the UN from 2019-2021.

They wont boo the players or anything like that. They love Kentucky basketball. But crowds may thin as the year goes by and no one will stay after the game to hear Cal.

Yes…also, they are raising the contribution price for the lower level tickets to the big time donors this summer…a lot of them are pissed.
