He's so bad at it, too. Gives his posts zero thought and is super lazy. One liners. Boring schtick.
The NCAA finally converted to Cal's gospel and now Cal doesn't know what to preach anymore.

He's top 5 dumbest on the board. You've already exceeded his word capacity with that paragraph. Leave him alone. He's special.
Yet here you are....defending your hero against his own words....amazing
There's a lot to criticize Calipari on. This isn't it.
Kids can come to Kentucky and get huge NIL deals. Tyty and Sharpe have Porcsche's. Oscar is already getting 2 million next year and has really just gotten started. Jacob Toppin has NIL deals, Mintz, even Allen got some NIL money. I think if a kid says "How's the NIL situation," there's evidence you'll do well at Kentucky.
But the NCAA has warned about inducement to play payments. And promising a kid money before he's even there could be construed as just that.
You can be mad at Calipari over whatever you choose. But consider, this kid went to Creighton. He started off with a list of Duke, Kansas, Kentucky. Who else told him "We don't guarantee any money?" Why did this kid choose Creighton over Duke and Kansas? It's not because "I don't want to play the AJ Griffin role."

You're welcome. It's good to be proud of something in your life. Looks like this is it.
Well what did you think would happen? Some of you folks are amazingly loyal to Cal.
Cal opined for this very thing, yet now you donāt like how it's working out. Go back to being whatever you do
Yeah right....I'm sure these kids care. Money talks in this world Cal wanted, funny how the highest paid coach in the country is against kids getting the max they can.
Seems hypocritical to me
Spare me. Cal wanted this for years. It's about these kids he would say over and over. Well guess what, these kids want paid. Deal with it.
Sorry, Cal whined and cried for this for years. You don't get to sound sanctimonious and righteous after it happens and you can't keep up.
The National Player of the Year returned and got 2 million dollars immediately. How is that not keeping up?
Duke and Kansas are doing what weāre doing. Who are we NOT keeping up with? Creighton? Miami?
The Blue Bloods are taking note of the NCAA Warnings, and these other schools are making it the wild west.
Exactly. His snake oil salesman routine has been found out. The elixir only sells if nobody else is selling one.
You can ignore the difference between wanting kids to earn NIL money and deploring auctions, but the difference remains. They are different things. And Calipari didn't bring about NIL. The case went to the SCOTUS. The right to earn a living is the law of the land.
One would think/hope that Kentucky fans would want to avoid auctions. After all, we're a poor state and we'll lose to rich states. But if what you really want is to grind down Calipari, you get to have your cake and Calipari's too. Which illustrates the depressing reality of so much of today's landscape: hate is almost impossible to uproot. It seems to be an end in itself. Get that dopamine fix.
Work on his sermons?? Well.. I always thought he was anointed and just led by the spirit to give him that utterance as needed to help lead these ppl to righteousness. Like as in the Father, the son (Brad) and the (worldWide Wes) Holy Goat, or horny ghost or something. Yeah the Holy Spirit!!!!! Thatās it. Thatās the one I was looking for. Naw, No Holy Spirit was ever around at that time I donāt believe l.? If it was it was probably taking up tithes and offerings working for Cal. Oh Cal!! Man man man he so full of shit.
You think Oscar returned because he loves Cal and UK that much? Wake up dude. If he had been told he was a lottery pick...he gone.
UK made sure he was getting something. Guaranted.
Cal and UK havenāt been keeping for a while. Self just doubled Cal in titles. Dook is getting any one and everyone they want, including Cal assistants.
Other SEC svhools are killing recruiting and the transfer portal while Cal is petting his dogs. You better wake up to what's happening.
The NCAA didn't' have spit to do with NIL. They resisted it. Get your facts straight.
The case -- The National Collegiate Athletic Association vs. Alston -- was decided by the SCOTUS.
If your reason for the current 15 minutes of hate is the opposite of what you imagine, what happens to your hate? If the past is relevant, the rationale will change and the hate will rage on.

Hell yeah I rode that sumbitch! I love the camaraderie on the shorter bus. I always feel safe and wear my helmet every time I get on that bus. One time I even got to drive it. Actually twice . I got it in a hit a run by accident. They said it was my fault! Like I didnāt hit the bureaus and little red stop signs and lights come out all over the place so everybody shouldāve known to stop. I even got expended from school over it.
Surely youāre referencing Calipari here and not @Son_Of_Saul or myself. Only person moving goalposts here is Calipari himself. This speaks to literally everything heās spoken for for the past 10+ years. The mental gymnastics ITT to defend everything Calipari is quite incredible.
Just spin by you. Cal used thst talk when it benefited him, now that othets are using it, he's crying foul. Sounds desperate and lost.
I ain't the one who said all those things,Cal did. His owwn words. Deal with it.
It's DubyaC/baller cal. he lost his acct yesterday when he told someone here to eat a bullet.
No. I acknowledge NIL money plays a role.
If youāre HERE, Kentucky can put you into contact with opportunities.
Kentucky wonāt lure new players here with promises of money.
Welp, they better re-evaluate that then....Cal wantedthe game to evolve and change to help these kids....here it is....just what he asked for....now what?
And he's helping these kids. The ones that are here. He won't help you before you're here. He won't promise you anything. But once you're here, he's helping you. A lot of work was done for Oscar to get NIL $. Cal spoke before the state legislature to make sure these kids could get NIL in our state. Kentucky will be one of the schools with the most NIL opportunities for basketball.
But we will never make promises of money to kids. That doesn't mean Cal isn't helping the kids. That's a ridiculous take.
I guarantee there isn't one team in the NBA that wants Cal for a coach. NBA teams don't want to stall the last 5 minutes of the game or listen to some maniac on the sidelines screaming GOOOOO!!!!!
