John Calipari has officially left his position as the head coach of Kentucky's men's basketball team to join the Arkansas Razorbacks, marking a significant shift in college basketball dynamics. Calipari, who has been a prominent figure in college basketball, signed a five-year contract with Arkansas, starting at $7 million per season, and includes a $1 million signing bonus. The contract could extend to 2031 with two automatic rollover years for NCAA Tournament appearances. At Arkansas, he'll reportedly have an NIL budget of more than $5 million per year, ranking among the best in the sport, making him Arkansas' highest-paid coach. Calipari's move to Arkansas has sparked a wide range of reactions, from excitement among Arkansas fans and officials to speculation about his successor at Kentucky. Kentucky's search for a new coach has seen names like Scott Drew, Dan Hurley, and Billy Donovan being considered. Scott Drew was in talks with Kentucky just hours after Calipari's resignation but has decided to stay with Baylor. Dan Hurley, another top candidate, has expressed a strong commitment to staying with UConn, emphasizing the school's status as a 'Blue Blood' in college basketball. Despite taking an 18% pay cut at Arkansas compared to his Kentucky contract, Calipari is still one of college basketball's highest-paid coaches. Kentucky fans are now anxiously awaiting the announcement of their new head coach, as the search continues.

Never thought Dan Hurley was a candidate at Kentucky. Don't blame UK for trying, but was told that Hurley instructed his reps to not even take calls on other jobs. Expect another big extension at UConn soon. Husky fans - your head coach ain't going anywhere any time soon https://t.co/49ugXOIkdX
Hurley was a long shot always but they had to try it. Scott Drew was someone Mitch really wanted but lifestyle was the issue So now they have choice…wait on Billy Donovan (who could still say no) or open up the search. What would you do? If you don’t wait, who you picking?
Arkansas billionaire John Tyson tried and failed to lure his friend to Arkansas in 2007. 17 years later, John Calipari accepted the offer. "My dad always said if you're gonna work with people, work with your friends," Tyson told @247Sports. "For the state of Arkansas, for… https://t.co/5ngpOtySwq

There was little doubt as is, but this is final: sources just told @CBSSports there is a “0 percent chance” Dan Hurley will leave UConn for Kentucky. It’s not happening. Hurley staying in Storrs, with a deserved big pay bump coming for him + his staff. UK’s search continues.

From @TheAthletic: John Calipari explains his stunning decision to leave Kentucky for Arkansas. The basketball coach was gearing up for a 16th season with the Wildcats. Then an old friend called and made an offer he couldn’t refuse. https://t.co/yWR3lkSDSf
For my book, I asked John Calipari "you had Memphis rolling - why leave." He said "When Kentucky calls, you don't say no." Scott Drew did. But there are plenty of others who view UK the way Cal did in 2009. Kentucky will end up with a great basketball coach. Truly believe it

My guess is Scott Drew takes the Kentucky job. If he doesn't, I wonder if that extends the runway enough for Billy. Bulls' season could be over Wednesday or Friday. Billy would have to work approximately 600% harder at UK, but the Bulls are so hopeless it *might* be worth it.
