According to Jeff Goodman of The Field of 68, anything less than a Final Four for Mark Pope this season is a disappointment.
“Anything short of a Final 4 is a disappointment for Mark Pope and Kentucky with that payroll,” Goodman said on X earlier today.
Goodman is basing his statement on a report from the Herald Leader stating that the payroll number for this UK men’s basketball team is around $22 million.
