My sincerest apologies to all of Mizzou’s Olympic sports, some of whom had fantastic weekends. But when the most A-list of A-list college coaches moves jobs within the conference, it’s top-line news.
According to multiple reports, Arkansas is getting ready to announce that it will hire John Calipari away from Kentucky on a five-year deal.
One of the biggest names in college sports, Calipari has been at Kentucky since 2009. He led the Wildcats to the national title in 2012 and went to four Final Fours in his first six seasons in Lexington. Kentucky then went to the Elite Eight in 2017 and 2019 but has won just one NCAA tournament game since that last run to the regional final.
