Cal is paid $400,000/yr by UK

[ymmot31]

That is the salary the school pays him. It is the same they paid Pitino, Tubby, and BCG*. The reason he receives so much more than that is because of media deals. He is worth more than they were. Cal's salary does not in any way increase tuition, or ticket prices, or the cost of popcorn.

*had he signed a contract.

Oh we've got yahoo's on here complaining about his pay again? Those that don't understand economics and what not?

A "Cat stuck in a tree" news day huh?

What's the matter? Just lose the wind in your "Cal is overpaid" sail?

That's all, I make that much in,,,,, 10 years

 

[Drcatfan]

He's worth 10x that. Worth his weight in gold to UK fans!

In fact, with the money the basketball program gives to the school, they don't pay him anything. All of his money is derived from outside sources. Cal is a no liability asset.

Kentucky's the gold standard...Cal manages it just fine. I wish the federal reserve managed the assets they have as well. (No politics intended.)

In the interest of accuracy, his 2015 salary was actually $399,999.96. You can find that information here

I think Cal earns everything he gets. In fact, you could pay him twice as much and it wouldn't bother me. I'm confused when you say the basketball program pays the school. Are you assuming the basketball program and the school are two separate entities?

I know people were disappointed with the loss to OSU, but have people been complaining about Coach Calipari? Just curiosity on my part. Anyway, UK is definitely getting their moneys worth from Coach Calipari.

You've got some yahoos on here that complain about everything Cal and even complained about last years 38-1 season. The problem with this great fan base is that a few gives the whole a bad name. I'll take what Calipari has given every year and be thankful for it. I still remember the embarrassment of the end of the Tubby years and Gillespie years. Thank you Calipari for all you do for Big Blue Nation.

No he's mad he can't redistribute it to himself.

Not all but many of those complaining can't count that high anyway....truth is stranger than fiction...

If we are going to have accurate accounting, let it be accurate then. Ole MM thought he got over on Cal BUT, that four cents kept Cal out of a higher bracket..MM not quite in Cal's league yet...
