Texas A&M paid more than twice that amount to buy out their football coach, as noted in the Yahoo article.Quote:
Calipari would be owed a buyout of $34,968,749 as of April 1 if he is fired without cause
Quote:
While Calipari's buyout would be unprecedented for a men's basketball coach, it isn't even half as much as what Texas A&M gave former football coach Jimbo Fisher on his way out the door.
Fisher received a staggering $77 million buyout-with no offset if he took a new job-from Texas A&M after his dismissal last November.

Agreed. They don't even need to add that many transfers. One upperclassman point guard and another who is a 3-and-D forward would have settled their team enough to probably make the sweet 16.HoopDreams said:

Get big NIL fund (should be easy given on how important BB is to school) and bring in more vets to balance their 5 star youth

Tougher when other teams can pay too.

This.
Screw Calipari. He won by paying for athletes at a time when that wasn't permitted.
