John Calipari has decided he wants to raise money for a new basketball practice facility. He was quoted saying, “And the reason is, this is a basketball school. It’s always been that,” Calipari said. “No disrespect to our football team. I hope they win 10 games and go to bowls. At the end of the day, that makes my job easier and it makes the job of all of us easier. But this is a basketball school.”
Mark Stoops responded... must be tough to be the football coach at a place like UK.

Re: Mark Stoops bristles at the idea UK is a 'basketball school'
I doubt we see this kind of infighting between Stackhouse and Lea. Now Corbin may have something to say about what kind of school Vanderbilt is considered.
All of this is silly as it's Calipari trying to remain relevant. I think we should ask a 3rd party if Kentucky is a basketball or football school. I nominate the 2021-22 St Peter's Peacocks to decide.
