    John Calipari says transfer portal NEEDS TO BE FIXED in college basketball + Arkansas expectations for 2025-2026
    Jul 17 2025
    Arkansas head coach John Calipari gets candid in a wide-ranging interview with Jon Rothstein. He opens up about the state of college basketball today — from the chaos of the transfer portal and why he believes “we’re hurting kids, not helping them.” Calipari explains how he turned around Arkansas last season, how he finally feels like he has a team, and why his '25/'26 squad is built differently — with elite guard play, old-school conditioning, and a schedule he isn’t afraid of. He also shares behind-the-scenes moments from beating Kentucky, the heartbreak of the 2008 title game Kansas loss, and reflects on what drives him heading into the next chapter of his career. From tournament expansion talk to why he’s calling Congress about the transfer portal, Coach Cal holds nothing back. And no — broadcasting is not in his future. This is Calipari unfiltered, and it's a must-watch for any college hoops fan.
