Preliminary Buyout https://www.aseaofblue.com/2024/3/23/24109061/uk-wildcats-news-kentucky-basketball-john-calipari-buyout

Who are the Crafts and what influence do they have on a buyout?

Whooops! I just heard on this spot that our 2 freshmen have dropped to #3 and #12 in the draft. Are some people waking up to the fact that Sheppard and Dillingham may not make the top 10 like I've been forcasting. They are just not that dependable. Sure they can shoot when they are hot but they can also look like turkeys when they are not. Need more experience so they don't lose the important games like they did this year.

Mmmm, the Basketball practice facility is the Craft Center. Joe Craft is a billionaire contributor to Kentucky Basketball.

Joe Craft has a net worth of 1.4 billion. He also owns 375 million worth of Alliance Resource Partners stock. I’m sure he can afford to sell 33 million worth of stock to make this happen!

I just read a followup story where the University and Joe Craft said they would not be buying out Cal's contract.

With that said, who knows if that is true.

I have never had much use for Cal from the time he let the team and joined in taking a knee for the STAR SPANGLE BANNER
