The deal is done. John Calipari isn’t leaving the University of Kentucky anytime soon.
Not longer after news broke that UK had offered Calipari a lifetime contract, it was announced that Calipari and the school had agreed to said contract.
“We can confirm that the University of Kentucky has agreed to terms on a long-term contract with Coach Calipari to finish his career at Kentucky,” said a UK spokesman.
Calipari has annually had his Kentucky Wildcats among the nation’s elite, so it only made sense to make sure he doesn’t leave until he’s ready to retire.
