Cal DID ask to stay. I don't know about begged, but he had the Board of Trustees over to his house to see if they could reconcile things after the news of his flirtation with Arkansas broke. They said point blank no. Cal had given them the out they needed to get rid of him without having to pay the $33 mil buyout. Why do you think he was willing to go to BFE Arkansas for less money and prestige?
