Cal's got a good gig at Memphis, but it's a good fit for both sides. Plus, he'd probably be the highest paid coach in college hoops.

I still think Calipari is not leaving Memphis and is using this as leverage for more money."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

Whatever fledgling hope CUSA has of staying within shouting distance of the top mid major conferences will be gone is Calipari leaves.Comment

I think UK basically says "how much $ do you want to leave Memphis and coach UK?" With the UK answer being "you got it!"Comment

How much does Memphis pay Calipari?
How in the world did they get this competitive with a conference like that and a city like that. It's good but it's not great. How did it happen???
Calipari has the best recruiting class EVER coming in next year. Any coach's dream...I don't know if he can give that up.Comment

They could follow him to UK... that would be disgusting.Originally posted by Bradleyguy10 View PostComment

I could definitely seen Calipari using this as leverage to get more money out of Memphis. It would fit his personality and character perfectly!
Memphis is waiting on word from one recruit that would give them the #1, 2, and 3 recruits IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!
If he can get close to the money at Memphis that UK is offering, I think he stay. A TON less pressure at Memphis and that recruiting class=all of upside to stay there. UK will put a ton of pressure on the new coach and who knows if he will be able to get any of those stud recruits to follow him or not...
Should be interesting none the less!Comment

John Calipari says he will make a decision about the Kentucky offer by this afternoon--

"** He loves Memphis but is drawn to the history and prestige of Kentucky. Calipari said it's one of five programs -- along with North Carolina, Duke, UCLA and Kansas -- any coach would have to consider."
LOL!!!

Don't think Calipari is one to worry about or be bothered by "pressure"......Originally posted by RedbirdFan21 View PostComment

That is an insane amount of money for anyone in sports, especially a college basketball coach. These contracts are getting more ridiculous every year.Originally posted by Da Coach View PostNo public announcement has been made yet, but sources are reporting Calipari has accepted the Kentucky job-
