The University of Kentucky hired John Calipari to coach the men's basketball team yesterday, inking him to an 8-year $31.2 million contract.
Many criticize the salary as excessive, especially with state budgets squeezed by the economic downturn.
But David Adams over at Kentucky Progress makes a great point about Calipari's salary.
Quite frankly, I think people in this country spend far too much time worrying about how much money other people make - something that has absolutely no impact on their lives. Citizens should probably worry a little more about how much money the government is taking from them.

Here! Here! Calipari will likely earn every dime and then some for the University. I would have a lot more patience for criticism of elected officials salaries. How much money did they make for the state last year? Oh, that's right they are in the red!
