New details on UCLA’s pursuit of John Calipari

Towards the start of the NCAA tournament, a report came out that UCLA was courting John Calipari to take the UCLA job, which Cal refuted.

Shortly after that, talks got even more heavy that Calipari might seriously leave the Kentucky Wildcats for the UCLA Bruins.

Now, we have some details surrounding the supposed offer to Coach Cal.

A new story in the L.A Times reports that UCLA was going to pay Calipari $45 million over six years, give him $1.7 million for assistant coaches, private planes for coaches and team use, and a monthly catered meal for Cal, his staff, and his players.
