The fact of the matter is that while K-State might be in the Big XII, they are not in the same league of prestige or success as most other Big XII schools, and if not for their affiliation in the Big XII would be in the same league as a FHSU, PSU, or Emporia.
I'm not much of a fan of our holier-than-thou, inter-state B12 brethren, but this statement lacks a great deal of reality. Sure, no doubt K-State has coasted in the wake of the B12 big boats. But you're saying that if K-State wasn't in the B12 they'd be D2?
Are you serious? You can't be. Come on now man!
First of all, I am indeed a ku fan and a Shocker fan and a graduate of both schools. I think K-State is a joke - similar to a lower tier MOVAL team. Perhaps it is a stretch that they would be D2 as they already have an athletic infrastructure built off of the backs of their Big 8 (XII) members. However, without their long term affiliation in the Big 8 (XII) they probably would be a D2 team.
As noted earlier. WSU and ku have earned their athletic success. K-State hasn't. The ONLY thing going for them is their membership in the Big XII. OH... and they happened to beat the Shox yesterday. Now, let's see when K-State plays the Shox today if a broken clock really is accurate at least twice per day.
And this, my friends, is what an honest to god full fledged temper tantrum looks like. Seek counseling.
