A LOT of you guys owe Mustang Gene and Meadowlark Klieman apologies

Rich old people can be incredibly petty

yes and you don't need to be competent or good at anything to become rich (common misconception)

I mean you would have to be competent at making money

Not necessarily

Carl made his money.  But, plenty out there just got normal returns on their vast inheritance

I imagine in your line of work you come across many well compensated people who are not good at their jobs. But I guess Kim's argument would be that they are competent at landing and keeping their jobs regardless of how second or competent they are at actually doing the job, which I suppose is fair.

I was thinking more the dynastic wealth that enjoy donating in exchange for power.

Makes sense, and I even think a lot of people who don't inherit wealth are often just lucky

Completely agree.

No way he has that kind of power. People like Carl aren't going to stop donating because they don't personally like a guy who by any objective measure is doing a good job. They're too addicted to being able to control other stupid stuff.

No offense, but I think that’s exactly what happens all the time. Kinda the point of holding money over their heads via scheduled ongoing donations.

You're missing my point a little bit, which is that Carl cannot credibly threaten to pull his donations for something like that. Any competent administrator would realize he's not willing to lose his influence over the program when it's just a stupid personal vendetta at issue rather than a principled stance.

Ah. I still think Linton blinks before Carl.

Jesus, this is turning into quite the confusing pickle.

Now that it’s known that Carl is anti-Gene, it’s clear why Linton would do what he did.  My guess is that Linton would willingly crawl through a mile of crap to eat Carl’s entire ass and balls and drink his ejaculate, so to speak.

NO, DON'T GO THERE PETE!!!  That description made me want to throw up and then eat it like a dog.

Is The Mustang the greatest AD in the history of our Kansas State University?

Some are saying yes.

[Pete]

Very many people have said that to me.

[CNS]

Probably at least the entire state.
