From a USA Today report:
Tennessee is denying that anyone connected with Memphis has spoken with either coach Bruce Pearl or its athletic director about replacing John Calipari as the Tigers' basketball coach.

WMC-TV reported on its website Thursday that sources said Memphis had offered Pearl a seven-year, $21 million package to take over for Calipari. Calipari was introduced Wednesday as Kentucky's new coach and the highest paid in college basketball with an eight year, $31.65 million deal.

"No one has talked to Memphis," Tennessee spokeswoman Tiffany Carpenter told The Associated Press.
