It's clear Calipari was shown the door and Arkansas was the best option available!

If you're looking for a reason for why Calipari left for Arkansas, it's simple, he didn't have a choice. He could have chosen Door 1 - which said we're going to fire you or Door 2 - leave with what little dignity you have left and go find another job and we don't owe you a dime!

Calipari and his huge ego didn't have a choice in the matter. No D1 head coach, at one of the top 3 Blueblood basketball programs in the country, is going to leave a school where basketball will always be king, for a struggling Arkansas program that will always play second fiddle to football.

The downside is now Calipari - with free access to Jerry Jones' bank account - will be on the prowl to grab some of the top talent in the country and money will not be an issue.

The good news is Calipari is out of Kentucky, but the bad news is the price to do business in college basketball just skyrocketed.

You have no idea what you're talking about. You just watched the guy on Pat McAfee report wrong info.

John Tyson is funding this basketball operation. John is friends with Cal and it's coming from personal funds, not Tyson Chicken.

False. Kentucky is a trash fan base. He saw a coveted opportunity at a better program and fanbase.

Barnhart did force him out, I give him credit for that. It's not a bad landing spot though.
