Oops, you're right. I do believe that, but I certainly don't have any 1st hand info and shouldn't have written it as if I do.
Kind of like peeing into the wind.I would have thrown in $40k but I just spent it on a new race engine.

It’s the only reason I work. If I didn’t want to race then I wouldn’t need to work.
Better to work to live than live to work. You're doing it right!
Guessing he was told he probably wasn’t going to play much if at all next season. Wish him luck.

Looks legit and it is a logical landing spot to make a truckload of money if he doesn't go pro (I still think he will).
Hopefully he gets drafted in 1st, because UK is desperate enough to pay in one year as much as a 2nd round deal is worth over multiple years. And if 5th year is approved soon, he’d make way more over two seasons at UK than a 2nd round deal for 3.

There is still some risk in that to account for, and it probably depends on what teams are interested in him. Seems like he'd be a no brainer for a team late in the 1st round who just needed a knockdown shooter, but if he's going to drop into the early second, it certainly could be with a bad team.
The NBA is the goal but having a UK money parachute available if there is negative feedback is the prudent thing to do. Keep all options open until a decision is made.
There is risk in any move
Securing more money in one season than what a NBA will pay over 3 if drafted in 2nd is by far the best EV.
Anyone that is 2nd round level is going to really benefit if they add a 5th year. He likely could leverage UK to guarantee probably $6+ million over next two years, which is more guaranteed than bottom of 1st over two seasons (although those have team options for more), and more than most 2nd round picks get guaranteed over 3
Kentucky saw Milan drop 20 pts (50% FG, 4/9 from three), grab 5 rebounds and net 2 steals on them and probably thought, "Yeah, he might work here."
All about starting the nba clock and getting to the second contract earlier
