John Calipari to establish athletics executive development program for minorities

After reflecting on the nationwide protests against racial inequality, John Calipari has come up with one way he can help. On this morning’s “Coffee with Cal,” Calipari shared his plans to establish an executive development program for minorities in the athletics department at UK. The program would include internships in fields like media relations, radio, TV, marketing, management, compliance, and strength and conditioning.

“Creating access and opportunity. Creating hope. That, you have a chance if you work and you do your thing, there are things out there for you. I want to start, and I proposed this to our school, an internship program, an executive development program for minorities in athletics.
