The Courier Journal reports University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari is willing to listen to a group of the school’s faculty that wants the name of Rupp Arena to be changed. Calipari says it’s another chance to listen and learn and that he has not heard from any recruits, current or former players who have voiced concerns about the Rupp Arena name. Rupp’s questionable record on racial integration has led to a call from the UK’s faculty of African American and African Studies program to change the name of Rupp Arena, where the men’s basketball team has played its home games since 1976.
