We won't know if this is the best the Big 12 has "ever been" until the NCAA tournament.

It was modeled off the expansion of DKR Stadium at Texas, it's just that Mediocre Max cut out oh . .  . the entire backside, and the ramps, and the restrooms and well a bunch of stuff.

K-State had the ability to float over $10 million more in bonds, but Medicore Max was too

In the one article I got a "i've seen this movie before" kinda deja vu thing going . . . I wondered if Currie was channeling Weiser.

One day it's all but a done deal . . . the next, the hedging and the hmmming and hawing start.   Just like Timmy.

That's a 10% reduction in the money the state gives the KSU athletic department.

Since athletic facilities are state property, the state gives KSU athletics X amount of dollars every year to to pay for facilities maintenance and for maintenance staff.

This is NOT a cut in the athletic budget.

10 guess how much 10% of what the state gives KSU athletics is.

Let's see:

1.  New Senior Assistant AD/Chief of Staff
2.  New Assistant AD for Business
3.  New Senior Assistant AD for Capital Giving.
4.  New Associate AD for Compliance.  
5.  New Regional Director of Development for Kansas City


Where does Kurt McGuffin fit in now??  

For all we know McGuffin was taking Vacation to interview for another job someplace else.  

Real World people, try it sometime.

Again I ask . . . why are people placing the dismissal of folks squarely on the shoulder of a lack of funds.    Any of you folks ever here of a smokescreen??

How do you bring in the number of new senior administrative personnel tha Currie has brought in, and then keep every one of the existing senior administrative staff on top of that??

You can't . . . this isn't hard.

I'd also like to add that 90% plus of the things I've heard about Kurt McGuffin have not been positive.  

What's funny is, there are so few people seeing the correlation of the new blood that's been brought in, and the dismissal of folks.    How anyone couldn't think that there would be some more folks shown the door is beyond me.

Why does Schulz need to take any heat??  He's trying to manage a school in a state that pretty much turned its back on higher education a long time ago.

They broke gound on that thing nearly 2.5 years ago.   All I've ever seen was some pictures of a grader moving some dirt, and that was from Last Summer . . . is this yet another KSU myst-project that limps and coughs its way through 4 or 5 years before anything really happens??

Not that I really think that K-State needs a $12 million dollar place for horses, but  it is a little embarrassing that K-State has broken ground on yet another project going no where.

The funniest thing of all is that Tardville used to always say stuff about Malibu to Manhattan with an overtone of; nobody would think that if it was Malibu to Lawrence.

Look no further than the newest additions to the AD, look at what they do, and then look at the people who were let go.

This really isn't rocket surgery folks.

I do feel badly for one person who got canned . . . because I think it was solely because her boss got canned as well, and IMO he did her no favors . . . plus the previous regimes did these people no favors.

As I said in chat, Lu thrilled us with 3 or 4 of the worst shots coming out of a K-State player since Ham Strickland was wearing the Purple.

$20 million dollars on a basketball facility.   That's a ton.  The NBA OKC franchise just built a state of the art basketball facility in downtown OKC for $15 million.   Duke spent $15 million, $20 million is more than Kentucky and Texas spent on theirs, I am pretty sure it's more than Indiana spent on the one they are building now, and it's about the same as Virginia Tech spent on theres and it's awesome.   

In the current construction climate, the only way this is going to to be "half ass" is IF they only spend about $10 million.    If they spend all $20 million on the basketball facility in today's hyper aggressive, desperate construction bidding process . . . it's going to be one hell of a facility.

That being said. . . I won't hold my breath.

Likely not connected because it would require that Bramlage have all kinds of code upgrades done to it.
