I had a chance to talk to a big donor once. That was actually the surprising part, this multi-millionaire, a guy who had nothing in common with me , would discuss UK basketball with me, the one passion we shared.
At the time the discussion was oddly enough on our concern that Mitch wasn't going to hire Calipari and I was asking him if he felt getting involved would make a difference.
Anyways, the point in this is, these guys are just like us in many regards, they are passionate about the program.
They see this contract , the arrogance of the coach, and how he isn't delivering anything but lip service, and are ready to move on. Perhaps they aren't interested in giving money that's going to make Cal successful or mercenary players who only care about what the Kentucky program can do for them, while UK still comes up short
