Report: Rick Barnes is Staying at Tennessee

Chris Low of ESPN.com is reporting that Rick Barnes will be staying at Tennessee and not leaving for UCLA.

Sources tell me that @RickBarnesUT has decided to remain as @Vol_Hoops’ head coach after UCLA came after him with a lucrative offer that would have paid him $5 million per year. Barnes finalized his decision to stay at Tennessee on Monday after the Vols countered with a new deal.
