Memphis Madness

It appears that this town will take anything without flinching if John Calipari is included. If we want to keep such a close tab on the taypayers money. Why don't we start with Calipari's exorbitant salary? He has a multi-million dollar bluff in on Universitys of Memphis fans. Threatening to leave whenever it's time to renew his contract. I say open the door. In spite of what he says. He's not in that much demand. I don't think if he was suddenly on the market. There wouldn't be a rush to hire him at the salary he gets in Memphis. This contract made sure we'll never know.

The question was asked. "What does this mean for Memphis?" It doesn't mean anything for the team itself. But it means a lot for John Calipari though. With the signing of this contract. He has accquired championship status. Though he has never won one before. He has managed to get success written into his contract with the base salary he is receiving. Why would there be a need for incentives? I don't want to be the bearer of bad news. Especially when everyone else is so excited. I predict five years from now and at least 25 million dollars later, we'll still be having this same conversation.
