Oh yes UK is the greatest. If there is ever a competition with money of course UK always wins. Who wouldn't want to go to UK...blah, blah, blah. Tell you what...why don't you guys go fuck yourselves. UK fans are more irritating than Canadians.
HAHAHA this is funny memphis would have paid him more. He just wanted to get away from that scrubass town and shitty school. Kinda like trading in a moped for a Lambourgini.
Oh haha i was unaware of any time he has payed players in the past... But maybe your right, You usually have to pay players to come to the greatest basketball program of all time... Wait a second... NOT... LMAO at you
@wavemontion your a damn idiot! why in the hell does haters say cal pays players? huh? was you there? do you have it on cam? did you witness it? was it on ESPN? did the NCAA announce that he pays players? lmfao you pathetic fool!
His huge salary does come from public taxes. You have to see the big picture. Each college team that makes a profit depends on having 25 other college teams that lose games and lose money. It's not just the big head coach's salary, but a 25 large staffs, 25 arenas with maintenance and last but not least, billions in scholarships to people who are have low abilities. The vast majority of the money comes from forced student fees.- Not a free market of a willing fans.
It is a bit funny when chldren post videos that lack any decent evidence. Memphis asked John how much he wanted and he said its Kentucky. I'm sorry to you Memphis fans that don't understand the historical background Kentucky poses. Go watch Tennessee football and stop making excuses on why your coach is now ours. You should be proud of this man for putting your team's name on ESPN. You now have a historical National Championship game you can brag about but Calipari is a person too. People dream.
@Addict4Gaming YOU need to read up on Memphis basketball history!! This FOOL did NOT get the Tigers on ESPN. They have ALWAYS had a great team.......when Coach Cal was just a youngster they had players like Larry Finch and Penny Hardaway...AND they are currently #1 in CUSA WITHOUT that shady character! Good luck to you Kentuckians, because he'll do it to your team too...JUST SAYIN!
memphis offered him more money than kentucky to stay. lol. WELCOME COACH CAL. youve already given us more than we've had since 2004....hope. look forward to seeing banner #8 up in the rafters in a few years.
Hmm . . . I forgot, who's now the highest paid coach in college basketball? Rick Pitino once said he left UK for the Celtics because of the "storied history" of the franchise. Sound familiar? He's later admitted that it was really about the $50 Million contract. Folks . . . it's ALWAYS about the money. Lighten up UK fans, you've got a good coach. As for the video . . . pretty dang funny.
better facilities, better program, better everything. even when UK's program is hurting it's much bigger than the memphis program when memphis is an awesome team. Calipari understands that and wants it......he chose it over UK because it's in his heart...money has zero to do with it...srry.
What a joke, 2 days ago Memphis fans were saying Memphis offered more money than UK for Calipari to stay. Now your saying he is leaving for the money.

So, what is the Calipari Curse?
Missed free throws.
When the game is on the line, when the heat is turned up, you can count on any team Calipari is coaching to miss free throws.
Beware the missed free throws...
