I dont get it though. At 8.6 they could go out and hire much better coaches. For Kentucky it used to be that was the best they could do with the resources. So when they went 6-6 it made sense. now the resources are available they are paying top 5 money for top 40ish results.It's what happens when a lower-expectation basketball school has a coach that guarantees that they won't be terrible. They get excited and overpay.
Their problem is that none of those 5-10 coaches would leave their current job to go to Kentucky, and they know that.I dont get it though. At 8.6 they could go out and hire much better coaches.

I would chuck that number at about 5 to 10 other head coaches before giving that to Stoops if I am Kentucky.
The coach salary tornado is off the rails. Those agents and attorneys are dang good at what they do. The issue now is that schools are screwed and have to pony up with insane contracts and buyouts, regardless of performance. There's only so much in the kitty, so this sucks away from things like facility upgrades, money for other sports, etc. It's not a promising trend.8 million and Heupel only makes what 5? Ugh this is gonna get ugly.
