For some reason legendary Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari thought it would be a great idea to put his face on a bottle of bourbon. Maker’s Mark plans to only make 24,000 of these limited edition bottles and sell them at $49 each.

I’m curious, do all of his players at least get a free bottle, or are those only reserved for his potential recruits?
