<p>Bcrebels, the point is not to demean UK. The point is that there’s too much money being invested in coaches (see the objections from other college presidents and ADs who complained that U of K, like U of Washington with Rich Neuheisel 10 years ago, raised the salary bar too high for coaches) and generally the overal system of big school athletics is highly suspect, if not outright corrupt. We feel a bit better when decent people find on-field success AND graduate athletes AND enhance the university’s profile; People like Frank Beamer at Va Tech as well as the former head football coach at Kansas State come to mind. For every one of them, you have two or three Caliparis.</p>
