In talking about the amazing things Mitch Barnhart and Dr. Eli Capilouto have done for UK athletics and the university as a whole, John Calipari made sure to point out that his basketball program’s facilities are out of date.
Standing in front of the Wildcat Tip-Off Luncheon in Louisville, Calipari said, “Our soccer teams have a new stadium. Our softball team has a new stadium. Our baseball team is building a new stadium. Our track has had a new stadium. I got the same crappy practice facility. He spent $190 million in football. $190 million! And I’m over there, and it’s hot, it’s cold; the water doesn’t work.
