December General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

Who put the $22M figure out there? Was it UK themselves or the Field of 68 guys babbling?

A decent amount of the fan base already wants him gone.
About 8 months ago they were lauding him and so grateful for getting him over Hurley. Soon they'll be begging for Nate Oats, as if he's dumb enough to take that job. If they ever were to run Pope off, who will want that job? You're not getting a top flight coach for those psychos. They'll turn on you in a hot second.
Gonzaga wins 94-59. Didn't they lose to Michigan by 40?
Sure did, so UK would lose to UM by 75.

Rupp has a poll going on whether to punt Pope now, lol

 
More comical stuff:
Ortega apparently did this twice in this game and he was allegedly paid over 3 mil$

And he air balled both!!!

 
Not defending or pulling for UK here, but if this were flipped and it was UConn, how could you not want Pope gone already or want him to feel extreme heat now?

And any talk about Cal is stupid, he was and will still choke away games in the tourney.

Ben Roberts of the Lexington Herald-Leader reported it.

What will the collective earnings be for this Kentucky team? The payroll number for the UK basketball team this season is around $22 million, the Herald-Leader has been told.

How does UK’s team payroll rank nationally? Those specific numbers are also not public record, but the consensus in college basketball circles is that — while several other programs have gone beyond the $10 million threshold for their rosters this season — no team in the country will have a higher number than the Wildcats, and Mark Pope has not shied away from that distinction.

UK fans are like Cowboy fans. They are living on the glory of 9 titles most of which were before any of them were born and still believe they are THEE ELITE program in basketball.

How many guys are out for Kentucky? I don't even know most of these players. How could they spend $22 million on these guys? Down big early to Gonzaga.
Not sure if this has been posted already or even if it’s accurate
 
Word is Kentucky offered Braden Smith upwards of 10million this season

Fortunately, Smith is a Boilermaker and is having a fantastic season
 
Pope is a top notch really great guy. He understands the program. Just way too big of a job for him.

that job needs someone with a very tough, jerk like personality.

Or they need to change their recruiting mantra. When you recruit multimillion dollar primadonnas it should be no surprise when they turn out to not give a damm about the program.
