Wow, hiring back a 69-year-old coach. Seriously, won't that be embarrassing if they have to fire the guy they named their stadium after in a couple years if he starts out say 3-20?

Seriously. This is a really strange decision by all parties involved.

I agree. On his part, what does he have to prove, his legacy has been established. And K-State is not the most glamorous program, but it did not have to settle for a Ron Prince I don't think. I just don't know if Snyder can work his magic a second time. Not that he is starting from scratch but only Neb was real strong in his first year at Kstate. If you remember, OU was having post Switzer adjustments. Now, Neb is down, but everybody else including in state rival Kansas have pretty strong programs going. Call it luck the first time, but Snyder is a great coach, and did the best rebuilding project ever in college football. He was just a horse or two short of a national title. It just does not seem to be the same after a coach leaves, then comes back.

Problem is, Snyder now doesn't have the same recruiting advantages he had there with the ability to fly recruits into Manhattan on a private jet. My understanding is they can't do it anymore. He will have a challenge with recruits making the long drive from KC/wherever to get there, and vice versa.

you think K-State would let things get that bad before lowering the axe?

Its kind of like being in a relationship where you had some really great times, maybe you were college sweethearts. You grew up together. You became the people you are in part because of one another. But ultimately you never took the next step, for whatever reason. So you both go your seperate ways.

You're with another woman for a while and its fun. It isnt great but it isnt bad. Its just good. You have some good times and a couple shaky ones before you realize its just too blah to continue.

So now that you're lonely, you start thinking about what used to be. Man, things were really good back then. I mean, it was you and old college girl versus the world! So you call her up. You start talking about the way it was and neither of you can figure out where things went wrong. You agree to give it another go. And then 6 months into the deal, you remember why you both went seperate ways in the first. It isnt as great as you remember it because you're different people now. You need different things.

And then you're back to where you were. Except the legacy of the relationship is now tarnished. This is where K-State is headed.

They will be just fine. They have only dropped recently because they had an inept coach. Snyder will bring back more talent, especially from the jucos. The thing is that only Mizzou is really doing well up north. They need to get back to beating KU in games and for recruits--this could happen. They start beating Colorado, Nebraska, and Iowa State up north, they will be bowling again. Sure, they may not get back to the top of the Big XII again, but they can get back to bowling. That alone brings in enough money to justify the change.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I'm not for paying any player until binding contracts happen which ensures they stay a set amount of time (including Bowls) unless contractually agreed to terminate. A paid education should also be considered a part of the "salary"!

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.

      Did you make the trip? The environment of 100K opposing fans (when you're used to 10K home fans) had to have rattled them.
