This is what I keep telling people that keep saying that UK will not pay the 33 million to get rid of him. UK will lose more money than that by keeping him….
Can Kentucky afford to fire Cal?

- Start date
well if you need something to distract you from work, then you need an improvement there.
Agree a 2 for 1 special get rid of both those sorry ass moochers
We have to make the program a living hell before they will pull the plug. I would honestly love to see Mitch fired before Cal. STARVE THEM OUT. In a way, I'm glad that this loss now has unified as against the problem. We have to work together. Stop sending them money, email the university, call into shows, etc. We have to do their job for them because this school administration is laughably incompetent. They need to see the buyout as a blessing to stop the bleeding. After last night, even the most staunch U of Cal supporter will see that this cannot be repaired.
My money's on this. Barnhart knows that his ass should be gone too.
Can Kentucky afford to not fire call? It's going to cost a lot more in the long run if he is allowed to continue running the program into the ground for another 4 or 5 years. There will be nothing left at that point and revenue as well as general fan interest will have tanked. It isn't worth taking that chance.
The buyout provisions in the contract currently call for monthly installments, not a single lump sum. There is also offset language in the contract if he takes another deal but admittedly it’s vague as it refers to “minimum guaranteed salary” at his next job. I’m uncertain if that would be the equivalent of the 400k salary we pay him or whether it would be inclusive of the endorsement/media portion that makes up the vast majority of his 9M.
My personal equitable solution that I could see happening: a negotiated settlement of the next 2 years of full pay with no offset language in 1 or 2 installments paid all in the next 12 months.
That would be 17.5M. Why would Cal take this? He gets 17.5M now instead of approximately 550k a month the next 5 years. He also could get another big deal elsewhere and not worry about any offsets. UK would also be saving money in the long run obviously by paying it upfront.

You are special.
Everyone needs breaks and distractions from work. It's called DECOMPRESSION.
That's why people have hobbies and activities they enjoy. Because even if you have mesangium jobs, people still like to have a life outside of that work.
I don't think about work 24/7. If you do, maybe you're the one that needs an improvement.
Can’t afford not to. Football money from sec can be part of it. Paid over years not a lump sum. Loss of donation revenue, tickets, food etc will be big if Cal is back next year. This has to be done asap.
Yes, Kentucky CAN afford the buyout. They have been able to for a while. This I know as fact. It just hasn't been important enough to the right people. With all of this outrage, maybe they will start to listen. Before, it was mainly just basketball fans. But the negative scrutiny has now gone national.
That is exactly why they would assist. They want him gone. Jones is a moron. What kind of thinking is that?
