What did it take for Kentucky and Mitch Barnhart to break up with Mark Stoops after 13 years together in Lexington? The money did not change, unfortunately, but the former head coach did create some wiggle room for the school on the 60-day clause in his original contract.
Rather than two months, the Wildcats will have six years to pay out the full $37.7 million, the school officially announced on Monday. They finalized their separation agreement, which included an up-front lump sum of nearly $4 million, followed by quarterly payments through 2031.
