With a college basketball loving nation still facing the fallout of California going through with SB 206, allowing student-athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness, Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari has finally weighed in.

His thoughts? Rain, snow, under the water, inside the Earth itself, whatever. None of it matters because Big Blue Nation will eat first.

“Kentucky will eat first,” John Calipari said, via Jake Pilgrim. “I don't care what it is, or what it looks like. If you're a coach and want to win a championship, take the Kentucky job. Whatever these new rules are, if you think you're hurting Kentucky, you're not.”

Since the California Governor signed the bill on Monday, at the time of this writing, 10 others states have already begun drafting and proposing similar bills.

The NCAA and Pac-12 response to the bill was mostly about concern over “professionalism” and the structure of the NCAA. Depending on where you sit, the NCAA being worried here is either great or awful.

Here is the full statement:

As a membership organization, the NCAA agrees changes are needed to continue to support student-athletes, but improvement needs to happen on a national level through the NCAA’s rules-making process. Unfortunately, this new law already is creating confusion for current and future student-athletes, coaches, administrators and campuses, and not just in California.

We will consider next steps in California while our members move forward with ongoing efforts to make adjustments to NCAA name, image and likeness rules that are both realistic in modern society and tied to higher education.

As more states consider their own specific legislation related to this topic, it is clear that a patchwork of different laws from different states will make unattainable the goal of providing a fair and level playing field for 1,100 campuses and nearly half a million student-athletes nationwide..

Nevertheless, none of this appears to be bothering Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari. Tickle no one shocked, as he's been a pro-pay-the-kids guy for a long time.
