Is Cal gone?

Without hearing the conversation I’m guessing the point was, as others have pointed out, to say if you’re asking for an inducement to play here and your transfer conversation starts with “how much will you guarantee me to come to UK” then you’re not wanted because that’s a clear violation. Obviously schools are doing that but we all know UK is under a microscope.
I’d bet he’s also doing a not-so-subtle F you to someone specific, probably the Baylor kid’s agent.

Speaking of taking the L...
I was right about Sharpe. So you can suck a fat bag of 'em.
Because he was told the kid was going to play next year.
Why can't you understand that simple fact, it's not complicated, even a hillbilly can understand it. Cal didn't think the Sharpe situation would go down the way it did, and it's completely obvious. There is zero upside to him believing anything else. Sharpe didn't need UK/Cal to make NIL money or to get drafted. It's not like Sharpe helped recruiting or that his help was needed.
If someone working for me lies to my face then that's on them, the same applies to Cal.
Let's see if you're right. If Cal is truly principled and cares about being conned, he won't be at draft night hugging it out with Sharpe, right? Let's see if you're right. Your next response or lack thereof will indicate what you think is going to happen.
And again, the "hillbilly" crack. You really are a nasty person - hating on Kentucky fans because of where they live. You're a phony.
When I read a quote like that it tells me everything I need to know about the poster. Just because you've been on the board 13 years doesn't make you wise. Just because they've been on the board for one month doesn't discount their opinion.
Your reading comprehension continues to keep pace with your overall stupidity. I have never admitted to any such thing. I am an actual, real life fan of the Kentucky basketball program. I have made it very clear why I'm currently at odds with morons like yourself, and the other bad mouthing pile of nothing who joined this board after the season just to pile on. You've all had run of this place long enough. You don't come here to express opinions, you come here to parrot ONE opinion, over and over again. It's time people came back and started shouting you undisciplined children down. Treat you like the pathetic babies you are.
Oh well, if you say so it must be true. You get to just pick and choose what you deem relevant from all I've said. If this is the way people around you let you argue , they have recognized how incredibly childish you truly are. So they tolerate your child like logic and fit throwing. Very telling.
Other programs have bigger and better financial connections to work with. Any coach here is going to have to deal with it, so we better hope there’s a cap put on it soon or it’s all she wrote
No, you said it. Scroll up to the post you quoted, I included it. I know you don't want to see it, but it's there in all its glory. Stop crying, it's embarrassing.
And here's another "L" in the treasure trove of FTP000's greatest hits:
Please, tell me where I was wrong? We did win one more, Cal's job was safe, and you babies continue the perpetual hissy. You not liking the truth doesn't change anything.
As for the troll comment, I've said a lot more, and repeatedly stated why I argue with you. I don't think you're using that word right.
Oh yeah, ya got me. Mea Culpa. I predicted incorrectly. And remembered wrong too, That obviously makes your every utterance true.
Wow even your 'apologies' are laced with childish whining. Maybe you should tone down the "stupid" and "mental midget" talk, eh skippy? Or should I look up some more quotes?
You said I should be permabanned for incorrectly predicting Sharpe was gone, even though I was right. Are you going to self-ban now?
He was talking about the Baylor kid. Mitch hates NIL. The Baylor kid wanted a guarantee similar to what that Miami kid wanted.
Anyway, that is how I read those comments.
Do you sit in your mothers basement at night dreaming up this stupid **** to post ? Ok we all know you look for any and everything to ***** about concerning Cal . Just be satisfied with that and shut the hell up
Yeah. Lots of crazy speculation. I don’t, obviously, agree with anything concerning Cal, but you’re right.
You finally at least came back with a witty reply. Now, can you make it 2 some time in the next 4 years????
I didn't make a bet, nor did I ask you to voluntarily leave. Either way, in spite of being wrong on the number of wins, my main point stands. No amount of your kicking and screaming has made any difference.
I have said several times that I thought Cal did a terrible job at the end of the season. I was as surprised and disappointed as anyone. I buried my Kentucky shirts under the rest of my shirts, and pulled out a different hat to fish in. But I still know, in spite of all that, Cal is in no danger of being fired after a 26 win/2 seed season, even with the historic bad loss. It hasn't worked that way with other top teams ( see Virginia), and it was hever going to happen here. So what's the use of continuing to yell about it?
Where do you people come up with this crap? We have a lot a of idiotic fans, and you’re up there near the top. You are an embarrassment to the BBN.
No, NIL will be outlawed or make it illegal to make NIL deals if your a transfer. Only an idiot wouldn’t see were all this transfer players was headed. Why sign with any school, just transfer 4 times to 4 different teams.
We're allowed to give these kids money to play for us now and now we don't want to? !!
Coach Cal got to go.
We got put on probation for giving money to players and now we can do it legally and we're not going to?
You have got to go Coach Cal if that's how you think cuz we ain't going to win another championship with that kind of ********.
You give the best players whatever the **** they want and you do it with a smile or we find another coach. They deserve their money. Quit playing games with something you ain't going to be around 4 in 5 years.
This lit me up when I heard about. We ain't going to pay players? You lost your damn mind?
PAY THEM.
Man if we didn't have Oscar tshiebwe we would be totally freaking screwed with coach Cal now.
If he can get a championship out of Oscar next year he is retiring.
Eric Musselman Bruce Pearl's who we need. They pay they do what they got to do. This is bulshit man

Read more than just the headline, there's a lot more to this than you are considering. Cal doesn't pass out the the NIL money, and "we" can't pay players.
Nah, you're too boring. You just get the standard reply this time. Not worth it.
I don't get the "Is Cal gone" on a simple reply that Cal won't get into these big bidding wars for Players. It seems to be it is happening more with the Transfers wanting this huge NIL Package + demanding the amount of minutes played each game. I think Cal was probably discussing Baylor Scheierman and the NIL demands + demanding certain amount of playing time. It seems like we have been hearing this from other Head Coaches about the huge demands on NIL Deals. I know with most recruits and transfers there will be plenty of NIL opportunities but it seems to be now upfront the Players are telling the Head Coaches before transferring want they are looking for in big NIL deals. I am sure the NCAA will eventually have to get involve and set a Cap per year for NIL deals and set guidelines on how the NIL will work across the board in the NCAA especially in Basketball & Football.
A head coach ceases to be the head coach when he allows players to dictate how much playing time they get and how they are going to showcase their abilities. BS has an idea of how he wants to play. That probably works at a mid-major, but probably not at high D1. Both UK and Kansas have been eliminated by BS coincidentally. Cal absolutely made the right call on BS...to slow down recruitment. Further, I'm not so sure that BS is a can't miss piece of a championship team...especially if he is used as a facilitator of the offense and demanding the ball in his hands.
NIL is secondary. Opportunities for NIL money at UK will be there. That being said, you can't have kids demand X dollars to come. Again, you can't let players dictate to a coach. In both cases, Cal is right for his handling of the BS situation.
Now the Sharpe situation and the playing time decisions are a whole other discussion.
Poor bassy, can't get anyone else to talk to him, so he always comes after me. Here, take a doggy treat. Now sit!
