@Chad, at this point, I don’t think there is anything too the Donovan-to-UK rumors (although I still wouldn’t be surprised if it somehow happened), but I doubt that either of the reasons you mentioned would totally prohibit a move.

First, I would think that if Donovan asked for permission to talk with Kentucky that Foley would give it. Perhaps I’m wrong, considering UK is in the same conference, but Foley likely would allow him to talk to Kentucky just to keep the peace.

And with respect to the money, I think Kentucky would take care of that in a heartbeat. It is common practice for a coach’s new team to take care of his buyout or other financial obligations that result from his leaving.

Still, with all that said, I think Kentucky is moving onto plans B and C.

@Kevin, first off all, NEVER think of us as a credible source. We just make this stuff up as we go.

Just kidding.

Good call on the Gillispie name spelling. I goofed.

If you spelled Gillispie right I might think of you as a credible source…

Hey guys, Billy Donovan cannot even discuss another college job without written permission from UF athletic director Jeremy Foley. Furthermore, if he leaves without being fired, he owes UF $500,000 or the remaining pay of his assistants.

Yeah in one way I felt that KY did not give Billy G enough time to prove himself, yet I also feel that he needed to grow up and stay out of the spotlight. He needed to be seen as a well respected man, not a partying person with no morals. I do think deep in my heart that Billy Donovan will be moving his wife and four kids to Kentucky. I think that we are going to lose 2 of our 3 new recruits for next season because of this and yet I am too the point of not caring anymore. I think that Kentucky basketball is going to go down the drain if we don’t get someone in here that knows what they are doing! I think that Billy Donovan is the man for the job! But the question is will that man accept the job laid out before him. I am sure that Kentucky is going to offer him more per season than they did Gillispie and that could be because of notarity! I firmly believe in Kentucky Basketball and I think that all the kinks will be worked out by this time next week! GO CATS!!!
