Calipari Gets Lifetime Contract With Kentucky
Sam Cooper,Yahoo Sports•April 1, 2019
Kentucky has confirmed that it has agreed to terms on a “long-term contract” with John Calipari that will allow the coach to “finish his career” at Kentucky.
In an effort to fend off a serious overture from UCLA, Kentucky has reportedly offered John Calipari a “lifetime” contract to stay in Lexington.
According to Seth Davis of The Athletic, the “lifetime” extension would “include a 10-year term as coach plus a promise to serve as a paid ambassador for the school after his retirement.” Calipari would also be in line for a raise.
The 60-year-old Calipari, whose current deal extends through 2024, is already the highest-paid coach in the country, earning $9.2 million in 2019, according to the USA Today coaches salary database.
Calipari led the Wildcats to the Elite Eight before falling to Auburn on Sunday with a trip to the Final Four on the line. The 77-71 loss spelled the end of Calipari’s 10th season at UK. During that span, Kentucky has a 305-71 overall record and has reached the Final Four three times, including the 2012 national championship.
