I thought that they'd pay him less and save for NIL.

One last tweet tonight. Forgot to send out the @CBSSportsCBB news story on Pope and Kentucky. Kentucky sent a contract that has Pope on a five-year deal at an average of $5.5 million annually. https://t.co/PfCAAYH14B

Probably hard for them to talk the number down w/ what they would’ve paid Hurley

Why did Hurley turn UK down again? Did he give a reason?

He just won back to back titles at UConn.

He also said he couldn’t afford a divorce right now.

1.5 million less than Calapari’s base salary was. So they are saving

What were they going to throw at their first three offers? I'm guessing way more

Seems like the minimum I would expect from Kentucky
