If Calipari can bring a natty to Arkansas could this somehow have a positive impact on other sports programs, specifically football?

Basketball championships have done nothing for Kentucky football.
Don't count on it.

Why would it?
Football program isn't getting a hall of fame coach.
Football program needs 85 players.
Arkansas doesn't produce these in the quality needed for success.
Basketball program needs 11-13 players.
Much easier to pay for the top guys available and have success.

No.
Football is too dysfunctional.

A rising tide lifts all boats or trickle down has been shown to... well basically be as so much fart gas. We have 40 plus years of economics to prove that.
Not saying you are evil for wanting lower taxes on the wealthy, its just been proven that the rising tide only lifts certain boats.
I suspect basketball will be the same thing. Other than a blah year last year we've had a good basketball team that has drawn a lot of national attention and... we've sucked in football. Or been adequate.
We punch well above our weight in the smaller sports but football isn't a smaller sport.
Lets be honest... Petrino had some great years. After being handed the single greatest group of WRs in Arkansas history and a couple of NFL caliber QBs. We don't produce enough in state talent to rely on so we've got to fly the pirate flag and grab recruits from around the country. In modern football that is going to be really expensive.

They only way we win big is to hire a GM and scouts just like the NFL. We need to start paying coaches substantially less. It's no longer about having the best coaches. It's about maximizing talent and paying the elite ones the most.
It's only a matter of time before people figure out the money should be going to the players and not the coaches.
