FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – It's been a long time since anyone has seen Arkansas coach John Calipari with a chip on his shoulder. It's just not a thing for blue blood coaches.
To state the obvious, Calipari is no longer at Kentucky. That being said, the message sent recently by the executives at ESPN has nothing to do with taking a shot at the Arkansas Razorbacks. It's an indictment of how much shine they think is off the Coach Cal star that should be taken personally. After leaving Kentucky for Arkansas, Duke was no longer an option, so it seemed obvious Calipari would lead his Razorbacks into Chapel Hill to face his old nemesis. However, the networks came out with a different plan.
For the second season in a row, Calipari must face the Miami Hurricanes. Keep in mind, this is a team his players beat by 22 at Kentucky and that finished next to last in the ACC. That doesn't mean Arkansas isn't going to end up in big games on national television because it is. Calipari still carries weight. It just means if coaches of certain other SEC programs are available for equally big games in the same time slot, the Razorbacks are getting bumped back to a less prestigious spot.
