Very, very good question.

We will just reload.  The coach at kstate is really just a figurehead

For Dick, this is all just another possible business challenge.  Gotta keep certain donors happy to keep his gravy train running. If Gene leaves and the coaching talent leave, oh well...just move on to another job or retire and move across the country and never think of the State of Kansas ever again.  Very little personal risk here for Dick.  He's had a successful business career already, he can easily retire anywhere he'd like.

He (allegedly) turned down a huge pay raise to go to Nebraska last year so I'd say he ain't going anywhere while Gene is here. I suppose Iowa might be an exception to that.

Gene is getting up there in age.  When I am Gene's age, and if I had even half of Gene's wealth, I'd suffer an bad person boss for about 2 seconds.

There will be a lot of strong opinions on either side of that one, but it would seem to me that we have proven that we can do better than hiring someone with zero head coaching experience and only a couple years of coordinator experience.

Think LL is the hot candidate now, other than pie in the sky hopes for Pete Carroll.

It's a bad move for LL IMO.  I get the $$$ aspect, but I don't think he'll succeed there.

Heck of a retirement fund. Three years. Get the buyout. Sit on the beach living off the interest.

Save even more money not moving after he's fired. Brilliant!

UW needs a QB. Lightpole can take gimpy ol' Daniels with him, problemo solved (kind of).

Does KU go steal back AK from Penn State before they even get a spring practice session out of him?

Chris Kleinman should be on the phone to every Arizona kid asking them to transfer, he can remind them that they don’t even need to cover up their wildcat tattoo

No way Jose.  Arizona was getting pretty uppity after that OU win. This is perfect.

Same reason it's good to have lots of good basketball teams in the  league. More opportunities for quality wins in case you don't win the Dr Pepper. I'd say Big 12 still has decent shot for a second playoff bid if it's a 1 loss team and the SOS is decent.

It's not the same though. CBB profiles are based off of computer models. CFB post season profiles are based off of a beauty contest and perception. We have no idea how the committee each year is going to base that perception so coming from a P4 conference you're better off just winning as many games as you can.

If we had a 12 team playoff this year, the committee would have picked a 12 win team, with literally the worst strength of schedule in the sport over a 10 win team in a stronger conference, and with better wins.
