Just wondering would it be legal for fans and businesses to donate to a collective to help buyout Cals contract?
Collective to help buyout Cal
- Thread starter Short-Dawg-69
- Start date
I mean, if a GoFundMe got large enough to make some headlines, it might move the needle. Worst case the money could ultimately be donated to something good.
1.75M households in KY
minus
280K households in poverty in KY
=
1.47M households above poverty line ($83K avg household income)
Edit...forget my math, I always sucked at it
Don't see it happening...

You also have to take in consideration, how many of those household give a rats ass about giving a high paid coach his millions to leave.
Guys the buyout isn't the issue. The athletic department could pay that out over 10 years probably. So, 4-5 million a year.
The issue is who is next and paying him while paying a guy 4-5 million not to coach.
It's about desire to make a change. I don't think there are enough decision makers who really desire a change right now.

Do you honestly believe that the poverty level for a household in KY is 83k?
Maybe, but what coach out there (that UK would have a legitimate chance to get) and the athletic department would be willing to take on that financial risk. We are talking a large buy out, another large contract, and only hope that whatever coach is, works out to where you don't have a similar situation.
This is the heart of the matter. I bet if you secretly polled MB, the athletics board and the Pres. the sum average response would be that they are "disappointed" in the basketball program's recent performance. That's a far cry from the motivation it would take to end the Calipari era at UK.
Heck, I honestly believe BCG might have lasted another 6-8 years if he just hadn't been so insane with his comments to the media. The threshold to fire a head coach at this level is incredibly high.
No. Don't give him another dime. Just let him run it into the ground. Then, when he leaves, Mitch will be left holding the remnants of a once great program. Hopefully that will get him tossed.
No that was the internets said was the average household income in KY....not that 83k was poverty level.
