I think it’s like $40 mil.
Cal will leave on his terms, not anyone else’s.
I like Cal. Recruiting class next year is insane. He’s a good coach.

Re: EAT [expletive] BAMA
Tennessee hasn't felt relevant since Tee Martin, but I just looked at their record and they've actually been pretty Cardinalsy in our lifetime.
Maybe you're right. As an extremely casual college football observer, Tennessee is just part of the good but not elite blob to me. Now I know that's more about me not paying attention than reality.ThatGuy wrote: ↑July 13 23, 7:00 pmAnd just for fun, I'd be willing to bet that Tennessee could fend off almost any offer for either Danny White or Josh Heupel (assuming they maintain something close to their current success). UCLA came calling for Barnes a few years ago, LSU had a lot of interest in Tony Vitello ... we've seen it before. Best sports conference, one of the premier NIL programs, incredible facilities, large and dedicated fan base, etc. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's weird that you portray Tennessee as a stepping stone.
I will say this! I will no longer be surprised if, someday, Tennessee is elite for a long time because you're making good points.

More optimism considering they brought back the OC they had in 2021, brought in arguably the 2nd best QB from the portal to start, addressed OL, and have more talent

How did you celebrate the women's volleyball title?
And what do you mean by geographic challenges? Isn't Lexington like 180 miles from Knoxville? Seems a bit like a cop out. And hell, our current stadium is even pretty awful (though it's getting a huge upgrade). If Vitello can recruit to that, surely Kentucky can do better.
Geographic challenges being weather since KY is the second-most northern school in the SEC along with having a smaller population to recruit talent from.
Not concerned. Just that the first 5 years were awesome but unsustainable.

Re: EAT [expletive] BAMA
Interesting. And are fans still happy with Stoops? Especially after the Tennessee game last year (understandably the one I paid most attention to), I sensed a bit of a "we're not totally happy but we don't know if we can do better" kind of vibe.
Yeah, and not gonna get any easier when Oklahoma and Texas join the conference. I was wondering if the run to the Super Regionals this year might create some momentum for the program, but maybe not.Geographic challenges being weather since KY is the second-most northern school in the SEC along with having a smaller population to recruit talent from.
Tennessee's program didn't even get to the postseason from 2005 to (I think) 2018—they were out in the wilderness. They got there in Vitello's second year and have now been to the CWS two of the past three years. I've seen what a difference the right coach can make, so I feel like Kentucky could do better with a dynamic hire.
I'll just say you're the most level-headed about Calipari of any Kentucky fan I've interacted with. The seats seems hot, especially after the past two seasons.Not concerned. Just that the first 5 years were awesome but unsustainable.
