Solid pay day, and I don't believe that UM matched or beat UK. No way in hell.

this guy and this guy. I think they probably matched it plus some if they wanted. They also have some lady named Rita Sparks who owns or did own SparksCo. I know nothing about it except that she is loaded as well.

A little quote about Billy Dunavant:

"Before his retirement Dunavant completed the second-largest cotton sale in history. The sale was to China and it was a gross sale of $225 million."

the money to Cal. Maybe this about Cal wanting to be successful in a big conference.

That is EXACTLY why he wants to come to Kentucky. He doesnt get as much media attention as he probably thinks he should for having a continually successful program in a garbage conference. I think he wants to prove that he can run with the big dogs like Roy Williams, Jim Calhoun, Mike Kryzezewski, and a few others that are perennial winners in big conferences. If he can get it done at Kentucky after all the years of complaints about how he dominates a terrible conference, just think what kind of press ESPN will give him. He wants the recognition, not the money.

did not own at any time SparksCo. Her deceased husband started it well before their marriage. She has nothing to do with any of Mr. Willard Sparks' former business interests. She's loaded by most standards, but it is nowhere near Smith and Dunavant money. Not even the same hemisphere.

might have some validity to it if they got into post season against a halfway good opponent and laid an egg but quite the opposite has happened. this is probably their worst outing in post-season in a while(ill have to check the records) but they had closer games than usual this year. just a down year. they were basically a free throw away from the championship a few years ago. everything else has been final four and elite 8 appearances.
