BYU's Mark Pope is reportedly on the verge of landing one of the most high-profile jobs in all of college sports.
According to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, Kentucky is "closing in" on hiring Pope as the school's next head coach.
Matt Norlander of CBS Sports added:
The Wildcats job was open because John Calipari shockingly left to take over as the head coach of Arkansas in early April. It was the biggest domino in a chain of events that saw Andy Enfield leave USC for SMU, Eric Musselman leave Arkansas for USC and Calipari take over the Razorbacks opening.
