While Calipari is shown on a recruiting video fist-bumping the personal chef in the Wildcats' lavish basketball dormitory, Alford is left pointing to blueprints of a planned team facility that only recently broke ground.
There's a massive difference in fan support too. Kentucky's is so strong that it supports its own dating site. UCLA hasn't filled its home arena in more than a year.
Last week, as the Bruins were struggling during a nationally televised game against Nevada Las Vegas, analyst Seth Greenberg, a former major college coach, chided UCLA for not behaving like an elite program.
"UCLA has an elite tradition, UCLA has an elite brand, but they're not an elite program," Greenberg said later, off the air. "And what I mean by that is, they have a terrific basketball program, and a very, very good basketball coach, Steve Alford. But there is a cost of doing business at the highest level."
