Calipari did meet with two UK administrators at his house yesterday, sources told CBS Sports. One source briefed on those conversations said the messaging from UK's end was clear in that there was no salvaging matters, if ever there was a desire to anyway. Time to split.

If so then why didn’t Cal just say “okay then” and collect his $32 mil

How can you try and negotiate a potential counter-offer with your current employer while simultaneously not informing your current employer you are on the verge of leaving?


The violation of his contract isn't just not telling about negotiation, it's about not telling about contact at all.

It's entirely feasible he didn't initially tell Barnhart about Arkansas making contact that he was entertaining (which is still violation of the contract) and then one it all broke he sat down with UK officials today and asked for the counter offer.

Why’s it matter if y’all want him gone? The contract is irrelevant as the buyout wasn’t happening. Also your ad on Twitter is pretty professional compared to media reports by Matt jones.

These UK fans act like Cal had to negotiate for his job if he wanted to keep it.

I guess we’re supposed to believe Cal was given the option of

A) voluntarily leaving for Arkansas (no buyout)

Or

B) getting fired and going to Arkansas with an extra $30 million

And chose A

It's pretty hilarious that he tried to stay. Wonder what made him try that?

So Arkansas offers LESS money and a 5 year contract and he wanted UK to match it with what?

Y’all are better than this, truly. This is Mizzou levels of copium.

I understand most of your fanbase wanted him gone. You could leave it at that and move on, be happy we’re both getting what we want, but y’all are trying to spin this forced-out narrative that makes zero sense.

Looks more like sour grapes by Kentucky and their media. Reported that Cal was going to get fired. Boosters pledged the $33MM. Fans were celebrating.

But....they decided to keep him instead?

Sure.

Now we're expected to believe all the other stories that don't add up. He didn't notify the AD. He went to get a counter from the AD. Kentucky forced him out. Cal doesn't want to leave. I mean for frick's sake. Kentucky is looking retarded here.

They better hope they can land a great coach.
