They were so fun to watch. Every game was exciting up and down fast break Rupp inspired basketball.
Is your school getting it's money's worth with it's coach?
- Thread starter della
- Start date
Calipari played his bench to a fault in '15....or at a fault for playing his sophomores....depending on which UK fan you ask.
the next wave of OAD players will be that second tier
CBB is about to get watered down on talent
I thought ending the OAD for top talent, to go straight to the Draft of GLeague, was supposed to make college basketball more exciting.
Cal should be making 15 million/year at Kentucky. He has Kentucky in the mix for a final four every year compared to the majority of most coaches.
As noted before, He brings in more than he cost.
If it wasn't for Brad, we'd charge stud fees after he's retired.
9 million to get one win out in three tries, pretty pricey.
Tennessee is probably paying more a year in football coaches buyouts than Barnes salary.
We could fire a coach every year and still come out on top by avoiding what UK is paying yearly for Cal.Laughing
Forbes disagrees with you, sorry

...and while probably having the same amount of post season success. Save money, beat UK, waste a #2 seed. ROI is fulfilled. Just beat UK and they'll forget about the #2 seed hiccup before the tournament is even over.
I really hope you stick around the entire postseason.

It sure has been a long time for a final four. I was hoping for this year. Dang.
2015 for UK will be hard to duplicate. 38 straight wins.
We love Cal. We go farther in the NCAA tournament every year than Tennessee so Cal is definitely worth it.
It's like we're in a Final four drought out of mourning.We can't get past the last one.
gotit
Calipari doesn't want to embarrass himself again in the Final four so he's purposely blowing late leads in all the big games he's coached in. Self just ran out of time.
My headliner (condom) is better than Yahoo's collective rejects of creativity. And don't at me with journalism isn't creativity, it's reporting news.
The old Playboys are worn out?
Oh shit paper. you need to have a proper shit paper.
got it.
IU has the perfect coach and he has a hot wife. That is what is most important.
Do you not read?
For those who can read, here are the numbers reported to the federal government:

Dumbass
What you don't understand is that I'm not a smug, entitled, arrogant fan. By your standard, UK fans are miserable if they don't win it all. We didn't have a roster full of lottery picks, but we had a very good team that had a great season. I have had a great time this season.
So, UT is your measuring stick? You will need to start winning a higher portion of those head to heads.
Frank Martin makes just 2.85 million which is third in the SEC and 17th in the country. I am not sure if that is still accurate. I would say no. The final four run was fun but no momentum was gained from that. We had some serious injuries this year so time will tell. His recruiting needs to step up. 3 stars are not going to be good enough.
From your syacuse.com link. For the lazy.
Here is a look at the
- Louisville $43,134,625
- Duke $36,412,223
- Syracuse $31,772,639
- Kentucky $30,743,306
- Illinois $25,130,930
- Indiana $25,086,839
- North Carolina $24,660,258
- Ohio State $24,056,371
- Arizona $22,830,561
- Wisconsin $22,438,795
- Michigan State $21,882,125
- Michigan $20,027,574
- Marquette $19,668,714
- Northwestern $19,562,252
- Nebraska $19,340,390
- Kansas $18,802,173
- Texas $18,495,410
- Villanova $17,605,994
- Minnesota $17,454,711
- Florida State $17,304,819
This had to include donations. No way Northwestern is that high. No way. And we are generally in the top 20.
My guess is donations, marketing money, etc....
UK leads in attendance so assuming ticket prices are similar, UK would be #1 at the gate alone. They average over 21K pre game
Well, it is an interesting fact. I'm sure UK fans will enlighten us.
So now you want UK fans to enlighten you on history?
It's a pretty easy question and easily found on google, but much love on the UK fans s/o.
The numbers are current. I suppose it was too much to ask for y'all to know what is going on in the here and now.Laughing
That is fine. I suppose we will assume the obvious that UL is superior to UK at business dealings.
You can assume away.
If you're interested in your original question about UL. It's super easy to find.
Isn't it remarkable, with 2 wins against UK, Tennessee still isn't on that list. Wow, that's pathetic. 24th. Hahaha.
Yeah, it looks like UK doesn't sell the name rights for their arena. Where UL does to KFC. Like the poster above mentioned, I bet that is a big chunk of it.
