KSU Sports Information
Following a year that saw K-Sate reach unprecedented athletic, academic, administrative and fundraising success, John Currie was named an FBS Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year, the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) announced today.
The honor, one of only four given to FBS athletic directors across the country, was revealed in this week's edition of SportsBusiness Journal in conjunction with NACDA's annual convention in Orlando, Fla. Currie will accept the award during a Saturday luncheon at the convention.
John Currie was chosen as the NACDA Athletic Director of the year.
"John's outstanding leadership the past four years has resulted in the recognition of K-State having a model intercollegiate athletics program," said K-State President Kirk Schulz. "The combination of tremendous athletic, academic and administrative achievements, as well as national acclaim for our university, is extraordinary. This is a special honor, and I am so proud of John and his team for bringing pride to all members of the Wildcat family."
Since Currie's introduction as director of athletics on May 18, 2009, K-State's intercollegiate program has experienced a tremendous turnaround and enjoyed accomplishments and national attention that are unmatched in program history, including a record-setting 2012-13 academic year.
This past year K-State achieved a milestone that only four other BCS schools have obtained since 1998 when the Wildcat football, men's basketball and baseball teams won conference championships in the same season. K-State also became the first Big 12 school to have league coach of the year honorees in football, men's basketball and baseball in the same year as LHC Bill Snyder, oscar Weber and Brad Hill took top coaching honors.
"Thanks to our terrific fans, the best collective group of head coaches in the country, over 450 dedicated student-athletes and a determined and hard-working staff, we have made tremendous progress towards our vision of a model intercollegiate athletics program," Currie said. "It is humbling to receive an award such as this, and I am pleased to accept this honor on behalf of our team, fans and university community."
A BCS bowl berth in football and second straight NCAA Tournament appearance in volleyball highlighted the fall season. Both the men's and women's basketball teams advanced to the postseason with Weber leading the men's team to the most wins ever by a first-year head coach in school history and the program's first league title in 36 years.
Five track and field athletes were crowned Big 12 champions in the spring and Hill's baseball squad - picked seventh out of nine teams in the Big 12 preseason poll - won the program's first conference championship in 80 years. The Wildcats made even more history by hosting their first NCAA baseball regional and winning on their home field to advance to their first Super Regional.
K-State has also had another outstanding academic year in 2012-13 with 73 current or former student-athletes earning degrees, while a total of 236 earned Big 12 Commissioner's honor roll accolades this spring, the most since 2008.
In addition, a total of 95 Wildcat student-athletes earned Academic All-Big 12 recognition in all sports during the 2012-13 athletic season, while senior women's basketball player Brittany Chambers, junior outfielder Jared King and Petra Niedermayerova from women's tennis all earned the inaugural Big 12 Scholar Athlete of the Year award in their respective sports.
With the friendly slogan of "Welcome to K-State" symbolizing the goal of providing The Best Fan Experience in the Big 12, K-State's marketing and fundraising efforts have been completely overhauled in Currie's tenure. Responding to a new emphasis on personal interaction and communication, K-State supporters have pushed attendance to new heights, while the Ahearn Fund's fiscal year 2012's record of $25.8 million means that annual cash giving totals have doubled since Currie's arrival.
Thanks to the grass-roots support of the 9,000-plus members of the Ahearn Fund, more than $125 million of facility enhancements are also currently underway, including the new West Stadium Center at LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The transformational project will provide new amenities for all Wildcat fans including improved ADA access, 200 percent more general restroom and concession facilities as well as new revenue-generating premium seating capacity. A key element of the facility will be a long-desired dining hall to serve the nutritional needs of all K-State teams.
Other notable facility enhancements completed under Currie are the new $18 million award-winning Basketball Training Facility, a new outdoor tennis complex, indoor rowing facility as well as incremental upgrades that have benefitted each of K-State's 16 athletics programs.
Currently a member of the NCAA Division I Administrative Cabinet and the Fiesta Bowl Board of Directors, Currie was named to SportsBusiness Journal's 2011 prestigious Forty Under 40 list of national sports leaders and currently serves the Big 12 as a member of the Game Management/Officiating Subcommittee as well as the Championship and Awards committee.

It's early. It was just announced earlier today, right? I mean, someone has to find time to travel to a seemingly meaningless unrelated town, contact a friend who's pockets they owe some cash, and conduct a proper search where Currie is actually targeted prior to making said arrangements and promptly given the job. I would look for an announcement early next week or so.

Does Bill call it quits and name Sean interim coach as soon as Currie finds a new job, or will he finish the season first?

Even better, the tucks will demand Bill as the AD and he will hire Sean as the HC with no interim needed.

As long as K-State has LHC LHC Bill Snyder, Brad Hill, and to a lesser extent, oscar Weber, you guys will be just fine. Currie is a stud, but I'm sure there are other studs out there who would love to be an athletic director at a program like K-State, especially with all of the facilities upgrades and on-the-field success going on right now. I've heard that Manhattan is really improving its quality of life as well.

Zenger is great. He has more national titles in his short time at KU than K-State has in the entire history of its athletic department.

I doubt if any KU student had ever landed a bass, or even knows what a bass looks like. Because of this, they will be unable to understand your point, although you are definitely correct.

How many has Zenger won? Currie has won 2 national championships in the men's outdoor high jump. He might even have some others that I'm not aware of.

Remember the last AD that "won" a National Championship at ku?
He left behind a shambles of cancelled facilities projects, a football program that's in the midst of a 20 game conference losing streak and 4 consecutive last place finishes, and an athletic program that finished nearly $9 million dollars in the red in FY 2012 and needed every dime of institutional support and compulsory student fees in order to avoid finishing millions more in the red. Without direct institutional support and compulsory student fees, ku athletics finishes FY 2012 with an operational deficit of nearly $12 million dollars.
In looking at the Academic Year 2012 NCAA report I came across an interesting little item, not exactly sure what the implications are, but ku athletic shows an unrestricted funds balance of -$4,839,298 on line 11.3.2.4.16, on the same line item on K-State's report, K-State's unrestricted funds balance was: $30,430,280

fix his wagon, dax

i bet that -$4.8m is KsUck's's embezzled funds account, looks like the FBI's work in lawrentucky will never be done

Folks Big 12 Men's Sports Season and K-State's relative success during the Big 12 men's sports must come with an *
*2012-2013 Big 12 Men's Sports Season declared to be a "down conference" by phog.net
This is usually the case when you only have 1 men's athletic team make the postseason and the most important team has lost 20 consecutive conference games.
-
I stopped going over there 'Dax, but I stopped by to see what you were talking about, and holy crap! It's bad over there. They're really trying to devalue what we've done. Good grief, they don't get it how they're perceived to the rest of the conference. #ButthurtUSA

I'm not the biggest lady track fan, but I know several people who are, and to a person they say they've never seen it this bad with LSU and A&M particulary being very weak relative to their overall historical success.
Big props to the ku women for taking advantage of this very down situation in women's track.
-
Big 12 football: top 2 teams finished the season ranked #12 and #15, with K-State getting drubbed by Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl, and Oklahoma getting stomped by Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.
Consensus: The Big 12 was solid from top to bottom last year, but there weren't any great teams. Down year.
Big 12 basketball: top 2 teams finished the season ranked #8 and #20, with KU losing to Michigan in the S16, and K-State losing in the 1st round to LaSalle.
Consensus: The Big 12 pretty much sucked in hoops last year, with KU being the only legit title contender. Down year.
Big 12 baseball: top 2 teams finished the season ranked #17 and #35, with two teams losing in the super regionals.
Consensus: The Big 12 is pretty pud in baseball. Down year.

The Big 12 was definitely down in basketball last year. Texas sucking huge taint is a big reason why.

For once we agree beems. If it wasn't for Texas we could have added Louisville and the Big 12 would have finally had an elite blue blood basketball program in the conference. I mean Titletown and all aside
SEC has Kentucky
Pac-12 has UCLA
Big 10 has Indiana
ACC has Duke and UNC
Big 12 has no one

Based on history, the Big XII was the best its ever been last year. If it was down KU would have done better in varsity sports.

It really is kind of sad to see our TSC friend not being able to take advantage of a down conference while only sending 1 men's team to the postseason and having THE major sport mired in a 20 game conference losing streak and four consecutive last place finishes.

In all honesty, he was saying what he wanted the Big Ten to do. Not what the Big Ten wanted to do.
And, as mentioned, he was quickly fired after making other stupid comments.
Let's think about this for a minute. Gordon Gee said it was a mistake for the Big Ten to not go after Mizzou. Mizzou put a neon vacancy sign over their head for the Big Ten for the better part of 30 years. If the Big Ten ever had any interest in Mizzou, or KU for that matter, they've had decades to make that play, and they didn't.
This was nothing more than the ramblings of a crazy old man who got fired because he rambled too much. He was like a Jon Wefald that people actually paid attention to. And no one ever took anything Wefald said seriously.

It doesn't. I mean, he isn't even affiliated with a school or conf anymore. Just some raving old man with nothing to do during his days now. Kinda like Mike DeArmond(SP). I mean, I am sure Mike has a bunch of wishes regarding what MU should do, but has absolutely zero effect over any of it.

I like how when Gee says "I wanted KU and nobody else did" that BMW translates it as "Invite must've been lost in the mail"
-
How does Gee saying he wanted the Big 10 to add KU and MU mean that the Big 10 wants KU and MU in the next round of realignment?
It means that smart people sometimes get fired for saying very stupid things when their brains stop functioning properly. This was simply a way for the Big10 to make an example out of an old man and teach everyone a lesson about making embarrassing statements publicly.
-
Gee isn't the only one who has mentioned KU and the Big 10. The Omaha-Herald had an article about conference realignment not too long ago, and KU to the Big 10 was mentioned.
Oh, I don't doubt that KU is a candidate. AAU school, good basketball, decent sized fan base, etc.
It's just that comments Delany has made point to the Big Ten moving to rapidly growing population centers on the eastern seaboard and not a flyover state.
I'm sure there is a contingent inside of the Big Ten that would love to invite KU. I just don't think the aggregate will because KU just doesn't fit the TV profile they're looking for in a subscriber based cable network model. Just because KU may get good ratings in large metro areas of the Midwest, it doesn't mean that they will be able to charge people an extra buck or two in Colorado so they can watch KU on the Big Ten Network in Denver, you know what I mean?
-
Is the new Big 12 TV network going to be as crappy as it was last year, or are they going to provide a national channel like the Big 10 and SEC networks?
We're going to see more games on FS1, I'm sure. For games that aren't held back for your T3 deal, I'm sure KU will be on ESPN, ESPN 2, and FS1 more often than not. You guys are going to have better national exposure than Kentucky, OSU, etc. because KU will be nationally televised on basic cable as opposed to niche, sports tiers.
-
Why would any ku fan want to leave the Big 12? Once they new TV contract kicks in, they'll be bringing home $26-$27 million year just off of media and before any other conference distribution money. Hell, as it stands now, they'll bring home $29 million this year off total conference distribution and Tier III.

I guess I was just assuming the rest of the conference was on national tv every single week last year just like we were. :dunno:

He is kind of weird, but UT knows that K-state grads are the BITB

So, Cheyenne Zulu, then?

Currie seems a bit aloof for the UT crowd. I don't think he'd present well to the UT geezers and their ohl money.

He came from Tenn and they loved him there. His specialty as assist AD was getting olds to let go of their money.

The last year has been nothing but a John Currie campaigns for another job with the help of K-State athletics. Between the videos and the letters he's built quite a portfolio to present to perspective employers.

Yeah, but there's a BIG difference between UT and UT.

I don't see how UT doesn't hire Tom Jurich from UL - the guy has hit on 3/4 FB coaching hires and Kragthorpe was a rising star and hiring a guy like Pitino is exactly what Texas basketball needs to do. Hell, even the baseball team has been good.
I guess he isn't a Texan or have any ties to Texas but that hiring track record is pretty great.
My personal hope is they get somebody with deep roots in the Big 12 and Texas, somebody like Veatch I guess (Mack getting the job is my pipe dream)

Bob Bowlsby is reported a candidate.

good for john! he did a great job here!

Just hoping that we don't hire Zenger(sp) or some other KSUfamtard.

Zenger will aggressively try and get Currie to go to Texas so he can get the K-state job.
-
Omg lulz can you imagine that dork at UT, he wouldn't last a day.
-
Currie is a damn machine, of course he will succeed at Texas.
