Photo: John Calipari Lists Kentucky Mansion for Sale for $4M After Arkansas Contract
If you have $4 million to burn, you can live like a legendary college basketball coach.
According to Drew Franklin of Kentucky Sports Radio, the home belonging to former Kentucky coach John Calipari was publicly listed for sale. The 9,615-square foot mansion has five bedrooms, eight bathrooms and is available for $3.99 million.
Among the amenities are an outdoor pool with a pool house and a basketball court. Maybe you can even negotiate to include in the purchase the couch in Calipari's living room on which he announced he was leaving the Wildcats:
Calipari left UK after 15 seasons to take the Arkansas job. Based on the sales history, it appears he kept the same home in Lexington through the entirety of his Wildcats tenure. The house was purchased for just under $1.9 million in May 2009, a month after he was hired.
USA Today's Steve Berkowitz reported Coach Cal signed a five-year, $38 million contract with the Razorbacks, and the deal includes incremental bonuses based on how far the team advances in the NCAA tournament.
Depending on how long his house stays on the market, the 65-year-old might have another big payday coming his way.
