John Calipari was all over ESPN on Thursday leading up to the 2016 NBA draft, and there was some discussion if it gave Calipari and Kentucky and unfair recruiting advantage.

ESPN employee Dan Le Batard was perturbed by Calipari's multiple appearances on ESPN platforms, and Fox Sports' Clay Travis was asked about it on a radio appearance on Friday.

Travis didn't hold back.

A guest on Bo Mattingly's Sports Talk with Bo show, Travis unleashed on Calipari.

"The overall impact of that will pale in comparison to the money he's giving players to sign with him," Travis said when asked about the ESPN exposure. "Let's be honest. John Calipari is paying players and has been for years. It would be the biggest upset in the history of mankind for him not to be doing that. ... It's laughable to presume that he's not paying players."

He wasn't done.

"I think John Calipari cheats his ass off," Travis continued. "I think if he wrote a tell-all book it would be a best seller, and it would be about how to get guys in with test score grades that don't deserve to get in there, how to get grades changed."

You can hear Travis complete comments below.

Travis is known for being outspoken on many subjects, but this take is a doozy.
