Thats not how buyouts work. If he gets fired and immediately takes a new job the buyout is usually ended right there bc its paid over time
Clay Travis with bad news for UK fans on Calipari
- Thread starter PittPoker
- Start date
LOL! You might be right about the BBN haters wanting us to keep Cal. It reminds me of all of the UGA-trolling "Gators for Goff...Keep Ray Goff" bumper stickers I used to see when I was stationed in Mayport, FL in the early '90s.
Savage...
GBB!
Damn, I’m watching the NFL Chanel so I don’t have to hear about our dumpster fire and guess what, I-hear “ calipari”, then a photo of the dude that torched us, then Devin McCorty starts talking about it and us. So we are a laughing stock. I’m afraid to watch “ridiculousness” because I expect to see us burning there.
To think as I retired the wife and I were talking about traveling to the sec tourney and ncaa tourney locations every year. And now that’s a “Hell NO”

The thing is, legacy will start to matter. It's not like Cal doesn't have enough money now, nor couldn't find work elsewhere making a few million.
This is setting up to be one of the messiness divorces in.. all of sports? Over the last 20 years? Certainly between a high profile coach and premier program.
Is cal REALLY going to sit there and take money while he gets crucified night after night, hated by fans who want to run him out of town? Idk, I think there comes a point where his dignity takes over and he steps away. Because money can't buy a legacy or an image.. and his is just about shot. Can't see him sticking around and watching this divorce get worse and worse
You're a clown.
No one wants to read your drivel right now, man.
Good news that gives me hope is Vandy came top with 25 Mil to Can CrackHouse , surely there's enough to get to 30-35 mil to get a reduced buyout of this Italian leech thats stuck on our collective bodies ? The money will get figured out .. will the little prick take it ? He enjoys watching Ky burn while his players succeed and make big money . Such irony in the way the democrats are burning America to the ground while telling the country everything is great . . Same with Ky , both are stuck with losers . I pray we have the guts to get rid of both the leaders of stated institutions .
Calapri not going to leave, his ego is to big. He will bring in bunch good recruits , then the hype will start all over again, the fan base will get drunk on the hype, then we will lose early in tournament everyone will be wanting to fire him lol
People are way too hung up on this contract.
It can be paid out over time.
Christ, this is what lawyers and accountants are for. Figure it the f8ck out.
You pay it out over a decade and or roll some over into his retirement package that is a big part of the contract. Cal was always going to get paid to not coach at some point because part of the "lifetime" deal was once he retired, he was going to still be some sort of ambassador/coach emeritus.
People are also assuming that there isn't some wiggle room for UK to at least knock the price down a bit for dereliction of duty.

Hopefully Clay needs to be reminded UT paid 8 million to buy off NCAA for cheating to fire a coach. Then got caught cheating again so they sued NCAA. I am sure football selection committee will like that. Football team has one fluke title and basketball teams have never sniff a final 4. UT has more hoopla over nothing than any major program in America.
Louisville doesn’t continue to lose to St.Peters or Oakland. They may have problems but not today. It’s Big Blue Nation.
Clay Travis offers zero insight on any topic he brings up. I do not understand why people even mention him.
Why was this thread even started? This guy, whoever he is knows no more than the rest of us. Geez.
I hope you’re correct, but to me, Cal’s ego won’t let him leave on a losing note. He’s lost his way as a coach, and I wish all the negative talk would drive him out of Lexington. But, I think we’re stuck with his sorry ass and inept coaching for a few more years. Thanks Mitch!
Kentucky can buy him out. When you look at the revenues that are made with our major programs, they could do it.
The NBA isn't going to rescue UK by taking Cal away. So it has to be college.
What about a coaching swap? And I am actually serious. Cronin would love to come back home to this area and Cal would relish the allure of UCLA in the B10. And wouldn't taking Cronin from the top of UL's wish list be sweet?
And of course Michigan has money, and a tradition that needs rebuilding that could offer Cal a public excuse for leaving.

The problem is this is exactly what he already been doing. I’ve wondered for two years if and when he accepts the facts and tries to salvage some semblance of a positive legacy. It’s too late now.
I disagree. A man who makes it through a 9 win season and then spends the next few years still chastising the fans absolutely can handle the situation because he is winning in his kind as long as the players are successful in their careers.
You don’t trot out a team with one guy capable of making a 3 pointer for the majority of the game when everyone in the world knows the other team is playing zone 40 minutes if you care about the “pressure”
He himself even said this week that this was a good year and after a few weeks the cal cult fan base will be here to tell us that a 3 seed is a good year.
I hope you are right though.
doubt he has many regrets with all the “money for nothun” rolling in
Lmao. This is some serious lunatic ranting. We’re better than UK in all 3 major men’s sports. Our AD as whole is one of the best in the country and couldn’t be healthier.
Meanwhile you over pay for a Buffon football coach and a basketball coach that takes the most talented team in the country to tournament each year….and loses to nobodies. Congrats on your NBA factory I guess?
As arrogant as he is, you know it’s hurt his pride with everyone criticizing him.
i don’t think it hurts his pride. it just makes him mad at those who would criticize, because he’s convinced that he’s right and anyone who disagrees is wrong.
I will get it when his greedy butt is out of the State of KY.
All that bourbon and horse money in KY, and UK can’t fire him? Cmon. Put Makers and Beam logos on everything and make it happen.
It has to be soon, or there won't be any coaches available. With this noise around him, I expect to see a LOT of news about top coaches that could be called getting renewed contracts with their current schools.
It's going to be hard if we wait until summer and then go shopping.
The bottom line is that Kentucky can pay the $$$ to Cal any time they want to. Yes, they DO have that kind of $$$. Mitch and Cal don't like each other and only speak when very necessary. So it's obviously others who have to sign off on it. The President really only cares about academics and the fact that the sports teams at UK really don't have any scandals. The majority of donations in total to the University is not sports related...it's academics.
Yes, we all on here adore basketball and other sports at UK. The majority don't care. Until someone is made to "see the light", I'm afraid he might stay. We have to make a lot of noise.
