It's hard to say how basketball betting odds would be affected in college and the NBA if John Calipari were to leave the University of Kentucky after just one year, but the Wildcats' administration doesn't look like it even wants to take that chance.

Calipari is already the highest-paid coach in the college ranks, and he led the Wildcats to the Elite Eight in his first season in Lexington, posting a 35-3 record. Then reports started to filter down that New Jersey, where Calipari coached to little success in 2 ½ seasons during the 1990s, would be looking to go after him. Chicago fired Vinny Del Negro on Tuesday, and the reports were that the Bulls were also aiming to offer Calipari a contract to lead a team that is powered by Derrick Rose, who Calipari coached for a season in Memphis.

It's likely that Calipari will be in Lexington for a while now, because he's a god at Kentucky after only one season. He's a master recruiter, and he's coached the past two Rookies of the Year, Rose and Sacramento's Tyreke Evans. He could make it three in a row with five Wildcats heading to the NBA draft, and John Wall is favored to be the No.1 pick. He already has another phenomenal class coming to Lexington this fall, led by Brandon Wright and Marquis Teague. The Wildcats are looking to make sure Calipari retires at Kentucky, which means that online sports betting players should look for UK to be a threat for years to come.
