It is no secret that the University of Kentucky went all out in their efforts to lure John Calipari away from Memphis. The $4 million investment is already paying dividends with the nation's top-rated recruiting class and an excitement that the fan base has not witnessed in many years. Calipari is the nation's highest paid head coach.
Here is a look at the elite "Millionaire's Club" of college basketball ($ in millions):
John Calipari Kentucky $4
Billy Donovan Florida $3.5
Bill Self Kansas $3
Thad Matta Ohio State $2.5

And he should be he's coaching the winningest team in all sports
No arguments from me. Go Cats!
I would have expected a few more $$ for some of those coaches.
I like the size of our pocketbook. We pay millions BECAUSE WE CAN! Enough said.
I wonder how much he will pay toward the recruiting violations he brings on the Kensucky world...???
LOL at kentucky paying 4 million for titles that will have to be vacated.
Kentucky is trying to live back in its glory days decades and decades ago. UK is no longer on top, they are a mediocre basketball program at best. And thrown on the violations that Coach Slimeball will bring within a few years, and UK won't even be able to get a coach to come there period.
Cal needs all the money he can get to hook up WWW and all the AAU coaches and parents. Just ask a Memphis alum.
I wonder how many of those wins were bacause UK cheated? More than we will ever know. UK deserves Calipari and the disaster he is sure to bring.
I'm sure Ky could find somebody to put them on probation for a lot less than $4 mil.
Is the cash paid recruits tax deductible
I have to agree with this comment.
so if ky can pay millons they should pay billy g what they owe him instead fighting it out in court
He needs 4 million so he won't go broke after paying the player's cousins sister uncle
