Here’s the latest out of Kentucky, per a source: Calipari—who is set to appear on his local radio show in 30 mins—and AD Mitch Barnhart have not yet met but will meet tomorrow. Intent of the meeting will be to focus on significant program improvements, not necessarily separation.
At this stage UK firing Cal ($33 million to pay him, remember) seems extremely unlikely, but source emphasized the importance of discussions between Barnhart + Calipari to be productive and positive.
My read: I don’t think Barnhart wants to fire Cal; I think Cal expects to stay.
