Kentucky’s men’s 🏀 payroll this year is around $22M, the highest in college basketball.
— Mit Winter (@WinterSportsLaw) October 16, 2025
That’s up from around $4M in Calipari’s last season at UK and close to $10M last year.
Top players nationally are making up to $5M.
They are certainly being paid for their 🏀 services. https://t.co/44KAfqRVhh pic.twitter.com/zvsUuGXaQh

McNeese seemed to go cold at the wrong time. Looks like Vandy will be escaping with a win.
“Looks pretty obvious to me that high-majors need to play mid-majors during the season. They said we ain’t played nobody—we played somebody now. Nobody would play us. just like nobody would play Miami Ohio. But they gotta play us in this tournament.”
