Well that will change. There is no way Calipari's ego can handle not being the highest paid college basketball coach. He will demand more money. Wait, watch, and see.

Damn coach K pulling in 3.9 million more than Pitino.
That difference is equal to Tom Izzo's annual salary.
Hilarious

I personally don't hate coach K. In fact I kinda like him. He's never been anything short of a true professional.
So pay him whatever you want.

Cal will make more than Pitino by next year. Last poster was correct.

WOW. I'd be a little embarrassed if I was coach K. That's quite the discrepancy for his alter boy image. You'd think that kind of cash comes with a lot of sins.

Yeah, I'm not a Coach K fan. Crazy Huh? I wouldn't be surprised at all if a JoePa came crawling out his closet one day. But that's just me. BTW, did that wojo guy ever leave the nest...lol. I'm kidding. I know he finally got off the teet.

Now Denny was a true saint IMO.

So ? Coach K is still the highest paid Basketball coach .

If I was a coach and had beaten an opposing coach 6 out of 7 games, I would expect to be paid more than that coach....just saying

Kitties are ferocious in December then choke on hair balls in April along with their coach.

Cal should honestly be getting paid the most or at very least tied for most. Who can tell me who has had a better multi year stretch than UK and Cal? The answer is nobody. Not duke, not uncheat, not ul, not ku. Nobody. That tells me Cal should be getting paid more he is worth every penny.

It's all about the draft, who cares if your rival has the most recent championship. Eight McDonalds all Americans and you made it one free throw farther than us.
