Say what we like, despite the current problems, NIL gutted some really big scumbag coaches in college basketball and football who made a living on under the table benefits to students.

I can confirm from "inside sources" that timing was a major obstacle in the Calipari to Ohio State conversation. I am guessing the conversation went something like this:
Calipari: Hi. I've decided to move on from Kentucky to a more exciting job opportunity. Are all the new people seated in their chairs in Columbus? It's time to begin talking about bringing a national championship to Ohio State!
Ohio State insider: Well, I think we can safely assume that lots of folks here are loving what you've done with Kentucky, but it may be a bit premature, John. Can we revisit this when hell has frozen over?

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
The impact of Coach Cal's move from Kentucky to Arkansas
John Calipari is headed across the SEC. As his 15-season career in Lexington ends, what does the move mean for both schools?
Just sayin': Jerry Jones and the Walton family too.

John Calipari Announces He’s Leaving Kentucky in Long Video Filmed From His Couch
John Calipari bid farewell to Kentucky’s basketball program in very strange fashion on Tuesday.The former Wildcats coach posted a video on his X account (formerly Twitter) announcing his decision to part ways with Kentucky after 15 years, filming the nearly four-minute-long reel from his couch. Calipari notably declined to elaborate on his future amid recent reports that he accepted a job as the Arkansas Razorbacks’ next head coach.
“This is a dream job,” Calipari said. “It was my dream job. Anybody in our profession looks at the University of Kentucky and basketball and says that it is the bluest of blue.”
