This Kentucky team has a near zero chance of winning an NCAA championship this season. It has been a long time since the SEC was as weak in basketball as it was this season. A third place regular season finish, no SEC tournament wins, and a head coach well past his prime do not bode well for the Cats' NCAA tournament chances. I wish that UK could afford to fire Calipari.

If UK fired him at the end of this  season,  he would be owed  39,750,000 + .75 N  , where N is the amount of his salary from the time of his firing until 6/29/23 . In other words, he would be owed about 42MM . There are slightly more than 3.4 million adults(over 18) living in Kentucky.  It would cost each KY citizen over 18 about $12.31 to buyout Cal's contract when their season comes to an end  a week to three weeks from now. 

As a big tax and spend progressive-minded gent, let me propose thie following. The KY legislature could pass a "Cal Buyout Tax"  to help the UK pay Cal.  Jet, Granny , VH  and other BGR Kentuckians, would you be willing to shell out $12  to help buy Cal out of Lexington ?
