As a fan of college basketball, I have no real love of John Calipari, but I assure you he is a profit center for the school. UK basketball takes in around $45 million in revenue and dies around $20 million in profit.
Calipari’s ~$9 million a year may seem high for a state employee, but his performance is easily measurable and comparable to others in his field.
- Wildgoose 7y agoThat was confusing. I iniially read "UK" as "United Kingdom" which would be the normal reading but I presume you actually meant University of Kentucky?
- JackFr 7y agoOf course UK means University of Kentucky. It has to, cause KU is Kansas. :-)
- rhizome 7y agoIf you want professional pay, go work for a professional team. If you work for a school, you work for the school, not yourself. Pay the coaches the same as teachers, they don't have any right to revenues or profit sharing.
