Dick Gabriel, longtime UK broadcaster, reports Calipari asked Kentucky to counter the Arkansas offer and Kentucky said no
quote:
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.

Mitch called his bluff! Enjoy him!!!

If that actually happened then it sounds like he is getting cold feet and looking for any reason to stay

The same guy reporting this is also saying Cal hasn't informed Kentucky of any negotiations.
Also, why would he ask for a counter when we're paying less than his current salary at Kentucky.
This just doesn't add up.

Thanks we will. Doubt this really happened just snobby ky fans trying to save face.
Basketball world is learning all the obsticles KY has for not conforming to the new world of college athletics. Low balling his NIL budgets and strict rules on transfer acceptance while complaining that you cant win with freshman. Whats he supposed to do?

“You’re paying me $8.5, Arkansas has offered $8M. You’re gonna need to come down to $7M to keep me.”

maybe Cal @ 8 mil + NIL @ 5 mil is the offer from Arkansas
which would be more than KY is paying.. although not all to him

Exactly. And how do you add to a lifetime contract other than money? What was Kentucky supposed to counter with? Okay, we'll pay you less?

What’s this have to do with the low energy Kentucky coaching search?

Maybe Calipari bluff ended up backfiring
In the end, I think he wanted to stay at UK but he felt he could use Arkansas interest to galvanize the fanbase behind him
It totally backfired and he is screwing both programs
Arkansas has no one left on their roster
UK stands to lose most of their roster and recruiting class
