Calipari already has earned an extra $50,000 for capturing the Southeastern Conference regular-season title, $100,000 each for making the regional semifinals and finals and $150,000 for beating Baylor and taking the Wildcats back to the Final Four. Winning the basketball-mad school's eighth NCAA tournament title would net another $350,000.
Incidentally, the bonus tied to Kentucky's academic progress rate? A mere $50,000.
