I just don't think they would spend that much money to get rid of him.

Mr.Mister Wrote:I heard from an inside source a meeting was called with Billy Gillespie and Mitch Barnhart basically told him some things needed to be changed. Billy refused and he was told as soon as he loses in the NIT his job will be open.
So what inside source said that the University of Kentucky, in this financial state, could justify buying out a $6M contract????

**** Gabriel said he "felt" Gillispie wouldn't be back on his radio show last Thursday.
Pat Forde said it on ESPN today and even went as far as to say Billy Donovan would be offered.
BTW....Does a contract that was never signed have to be bought out?
Also, There are UK boosters in Lexington that could write a $6 million dollar check and not even flinch.

Billy G couldn't coach at Alice Lloyd.

Great question.
Another good question is...Why didn't Billy Gillispie sign the contract?

i dont think UK has offered him another contract yet......i dont think that gillispie could even coach a high school team.

Probably a long, nasty, expensive court battle that nobody wants.

A long, nasty, expensive court battle that would likely not even occur, because as it's been said, there are some UK boosters who could easily drop $6 mil. to wave goodbye to Gillispie.

I think that would all depend on who the next coach is if BCG is let go. I seriously doubt they would back out if we were to get a Donovan or Pitino. If Calipari comes then it would be interesting to see who comes with him. Same as Donovan or Pitino. We may lose a recruit or 2 but we may gain a few more with those big name coaches.

Could, yes. Would, maybe. It's all speculation.

I've been hearing this about a $6 million buyout all week long but it makes me think, Do you really think that Barnhart would put that in a contract when he wasn't happy with BCG's off court antics and his PR skills? It just doesn't make much sense to me.

Bob Ley did report on Outside the Lines that his job was in trouble and ford come on and said if a loss comes in the NIT it would come out shortly after that. They also stated that it wasn't because of wins and losses but because of the way he handles the job in the public eye and also the way he teats his players and the relationships.

This is exactly what the BCG supporters don't understand. These are the main factors on why he simply, is not the man for the job.

A dark cloud has risen over Billy Gillispie. Its not his fault though. Who isn't going to take a big time job over Texas A&M. He just took over something that is over his head. He wasn't ready for a job like this. The man at fault for this, is Mitch Barnhart. He jumped the gun because of he wasn't expecting Billy D to say no.
I still have my doubts that Jeremy Foley is going to let Billy Donovan get away. I just can't see that happening. Florida has more cash than Kentucky. And as we all know, cash talks.

I'm still tryin to figure this out. Why in the world would UK have to give him a $6M buyout when he has never even signed his contract. To me, that is a bunch of crap.
