Sensational journalism.  Go away JoPo.

[DrJamesANaismith]

I'm utterly shocked that Posnanski's insightful take on the corruption hasn't gotten more play with you kids over here.

I suppose if you ignore it, it'll just go away huh?

You are absolutely horrible at fishing.  If this were bible times, you'd starve.

OMFG I can't believe we had those boobs running our AD! GAWD!!!

Stalksmith feeling more and more at home here.

Be careful kids, don't challange the little guy too much, he'll follow you all over the freaking Internet, closing down the library every night watching what you're doing.

Stalksmith may have a point, we never discussed how Krause did this all by himself.

BTW does anyone at Virginia know about this?

[Bhyaaaaa!]

Could work to his benefit actually.

Like, hey if I was able to sneak $3.2 million from a university without them knowing imagine what I could have sneaking through the o-line on a punt.

lol nice post

This is where one would send in all their investigative reporters to each press conference to ask only questions about the secret deal. 

[Bhyaaaaa!]

Seriously a great story for Nightline or Outside the Lines or some other investigatory show with the word line in it.

[CrimsonBlue]

Massive corruption with K-State athletics.  Daxipad's still a fan... regardless of massive corruption.  How ironic.

[sonofdaxjones]

Bentard at this juncture you're trying way too hard.

It's kind of, well, sad really.

[sonofdaxjones]

Yes, yes . . . nothing like paying recruits to build a football program, with money that won't be around for another SIX YEARS.

Love the comments by the one tard that saying that I would say that Lew Perkins would do something like this . . . Lew isn't that dumb.

Bentard and DocStalksmith . . . together couldn't make a fart at a bean eating contest.

Re: JoPo weighs in on Krause
My theory?  K-State tried to get creative in finding ways to pay recruits and current players, so they established a multi-million dollar fund off the books.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Say, you don't suppose some of your theorized money found it's way to the DC area do you, speaking of desperation ....

Gee willikers daxitive, why'd you have to go an copy that? I'm so embarrassed.

Would someone give this little fellow a valium?

Why can't you discuss it here DocStalkSmith??  Why do you always have to go back over there like a couple of little school girls and hide behind Tommy Wushuck Light's ban-o-matic??

Tardville has an open playing field over here you know.

But again, you have to admire the logic behind thinking that money that wasn't even going to be doled out for another 6 years would somehow impact recruiting now or in the next couple of years.

Make up your mind little fellow:

I can see how your love affair with BMW has taken a turn for the worse. You're just so confused

[sonofdaxjones]

Doc . . . you're just another Tardvillian who tries way too hard over here.

Now . . . if you've got some sort of conspiracy theory, spill it here . . . all are welcome, all are welcome.

discuss amongst yourselves:

2. I cannot come close to figuring out why the school would give Prince this money. I mean I’m not even close to figuring it out. Prince was, at best, a mediocre football coach without much support in the community. I can’t even figure out why they put a $1.2 million buyout in his contract, much less why this would come up. My only theories involve extreme, extreme corruption — kickbacks, lies or an attempt to cover up something so heinous that it would be worth $3.2 million to cover it up.

wtf is there to discuss? no one understands it.  much like when wynona ryder was caught stealing stuff.  it's like "hey, wynona, you're rich, you don't need to steal" but she did anyways.  stupid people do stupid things.  maybe ron and bob had a more than platonic male relationship....maybe bob liked having a strong black(ish) man hold him...maybe In Pursuit of Perfection was a little inside joke/pillow talk between ron and bob...and this was going to be gettaway money...Ron and Bob would leave their wife and kids and they could go retire some place in the bahamas where they could just share each other's company...ron could read his books of history on the beach while he watched Bob frolic on the ocean shore.

maybe bob forged a will for ron that would give bob all of ron's money and bob was planning on killing him in 2018.

[mcmwcat]

ron prince and bob krause ... i thought it was strange when i saw them holding hands

[sonofdaxjones]

There are multiple schools of thought StalkSmith . . . of course the recruiting slushfund is the most dumbass one of them all, but hey it's Ben, so we'll give him a pass.  Unless it was something like, "hey if you come to K-State in 2009 and you're good or Ron Prince can bang your girlfriend, in 2015 or thereabouts we'll give you some money."

1.  Krause made the secret deal as a payoff to Prince for lobbying on his behalf to get him made the AD.

2.  Weeper and Krause knew any type of large payoff would pi$$ everyone off, so they tried too backdoor it.

3.  1 and 2 coupled with the thought that Prince and Krause believed they would both still be at K-State in 2015 so it was some kind of "bonus" deal that Krause (and maybe Weeper) knew everyone would be pi$$ed off about.  Considering that Snyder didn't get a $1 million annuity offer upon retirement until he was well on the way to turning around the football program.

4.  1-4 . . . They're just dumb people without a clue as to how the real world works.

[DrJamesANaismith]

I sounds like you think Posnanski's well written expose was tongue-in-cheek then? No corruption at the top?
