i love j-po
We all know there's been a conspiracy. Only the failures have been recorded.
We all pay too much attention to Icarus, and not enough to his father.

Yeah, but I'd rather have a President that cares about athletics than not.

Wefald is good people. It is nice to have someone that cares about the university.

    The very best.
Is there any point in talking to thuggins? I mean, can we really still milk him?

Jesus Wefald, get a hold of yourself. That man clowned you.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

I am really surprised that J-Po didn't ask the Weefer what it was like to be both the university president and athletic director.

I'm w/ sys.  Its great that he loves athletics...and that he understands the relationship between successful athletic dept. and overall university exposure...but he's a still a weirdo.  After about the 14th time I heard the whole "Rhodes/Marshall et. al we're awesome and like Harvard only more purpley and gooder at football" speech, I was done.

There is no doubt Wefald is past his prime, can be ridiculously looney, and has a gigantic ego.  But there are much worse options out there and its likely he'll retire in the next few years anyway.

I love it.  He's a freak, weirdo, etc..etc.. that took K-State to another level.

You people are hilarious.   The man has his quirks, but the man did more than anyone else has ever done.  You people are cynical and stupid.

I don't think that's a bad thing.  Those are the things that helped him to do it IMO.  If he was conventional, a lot of what we've seen at K-State since he's been here would've probably never happened.

There are things he says that have made me cringe, but I've watched him deal with adversity and handling of situations better than some people at other schools.   He's not an idiot.  He's a driven guy with a huge vision, one where K-State has benefited.

I get the luxury as many people do of knowing a KSU before Wefald and how bad it really was.  No drive, no ambition, the ag schools got all the attention, no one really cared about sports, basketball was really the big thing to get peoples attention away from the cold winters.

It's not like that now.    The younger generation make fun of Wefald because they don't understand what he had to do to bring KSU back into the spotlight.   So if he has a few "issues" that irritate the younger, less visioned people,  too fracking bad.   Those of us who had pride at K-State long before many of your were wetspots in your daddy's pants understand the magnitude of what he did.

I agree with you.  He's very smart, very driven, and has always had a plan, I just think he's got quirks (I've talked to several professors that don't like him much), but those things are major contributors to allowing him to do what he's done.  You have to agree that he is not a conventional university pres.

Wef' hired Huggins (good), Martin (good), Prince (bad).  I'm 100% for taking blind power swings for the fences that many wouldn't take in order to put us over the top some of the time.  We are K-State and would not be able to be "good" most of the time without a) rediculous luck (Snyder) b) cheating (Roy Williams/Larry Brown) or c) taking retarded risks (Wefald).  The only two you can control are b & c and I'm for both.

And I'd gladly sacrifice sys' life for keeping him around.

Seriously, why did you post this?   Wefald's influence is not just sports related.  He's very involved in sports but to judge him strictly on the sports and some of the issues surrounding it isn't very smart.   You need to look at the larger picture.  To say that Prince is a failure now is all too common around people who've only known what KSU sports was like during the height of Snyder's reign and not understood what the impact Wefald has had on all that.   Snyder wanted money for facilities, it was Wefald that went out and helped raised it.   

He did more than just that.    He got people to put money back into K-State that wouldn't do it before.   He took K-State to new level bringing the university nto the Top 150 public and private schools for education in the country.   He's managed to increase the endowment 10 fold to give KSU the funding it needs to continue to grow.  The value of a K-State education is greater now than it ever has been.   True that sports have had an impact in the national perception, but he's backed it up by making the university one of the most relevant higher learning institutions.   You don't do that without tireless effort and energy and it's a damn shame that people don't recognize what he's done.

I'm with MJ.  

If any of you are unfortunate enough to trash Jon Wefald within earshot of me, I will beat you senseless, wait until you wake up, and then beat you senseless again.  
Welcome back, Bill.

Did you just respond to my post without reading it and just assumed I just posted that I didn't like Wefald or something?  Because that's what your response indicates.   :confused:

I was taking umbrage to the Prince comment.    And K-State is not good at football because of luck.  Snyder was revered to be an offensive genius, and Bo Schlembeckler (sp) wanted him out of the Big 10 when K-State came calling.   Snyder had a plan.  Wefald had a plan.  We are not good because of luck or anything else, we were good because we had people with a vision and a plan, and the drive to make it work.

That's the whole thing people really miss about Wefald.

Point is, the next Snyder is out there and it will take luck to find him, not someone like Wefeld having a "vision".  And, if you think Prince is the next Snyder, well, I can't help you there. 

ps. I like Wefald and think he's great

I never claimed Prince is the next Snyder,  I said it's too early to judge Prince.  Snyder didn't become "Snyder" as people remember him for several years.   He went to a bowl game in his fifth year.    There is some context that is placed on him, but many people forget Snyder went 7-4 in his third year, and 5-6 the following year.

No one expected Snyder to be what he'd become.  Ask anyone who was there when he was hired.

That's right mj.

I was around when K-State was headed down the drain under Duane Acker, so I appreciate Wefald for that. 

But because he convinced Bill Snyder to come to K-State (He didn't find Bill Snyder by-the-way) he deluded himself into thinking that he was an athletic director, same with Bob Krause.   Thus we ended up with a roll over contract with Tom Asbury, a 6 year run of Mediocrity with Jim Wooldridge, and the Jon Wefald social experiment with Ron Prince. 

For those that liked Tim Weiser (and I did on certain things) you can thank Jon Wefald and Bob Krause for Weiser no longer being the K-State AD.
