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.
