Hadn't seen this mentioned yet.
Kansas State University President Kirk Schulz, who has served on the NCAA Board of Directors since July, has been unanimously appointed to the NCAA Executive Committee, President Mark Emmert has announced.
The Executive Committee is the highest governance body in the NCAA and is composed of institutional chief executive officers that oversee Association-wide issues. The committee is charged with ensuring that each division operates consistently with the basic purposes, fundamental policies and general principles of the Association.

Kansas State's president, Tim Weiser, earned a little more than $95,000 from the 1992 Copper Bowl.

So, i can't find the first gE.c use of "animal". who coined that absolutely perfect name for him?
-
I really hope that now that we are untouchable in the eyes of the NCAA, we just stop with all compliance bullshit and start cheating our asses off in earnest.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/dennis-dodd/24489339/k-state-president-open-up-governance-dialogue-to-media
Here's a switch in the usually closed-door NCAA process: A prominent member of the steering committee directing governance restructuring says such meetings should be open to the media.
"I will say this very freely. I have talked to the NCAA staff ... we have to acknowledge the sports media world has changed dramatically from 10 years ago," Kansas State president Kirk Schulz said. "I want leading sports journalists in the room during this kind of stuff."
Schulz is one of the seven members of the Division I Steering Committee charged with reconfiguring how the NCAA does business. He has been the Kansas State CEO since 2009.
The committee is expected to next meet by conference call this week and should have a new model ready for consideration by the membership next month. Restructuring could be completed by August.
But to have media in the room monitoring every move? The idea seemed to work January at the NCAA Convention. Media were invited to attend a two-day governance dialogue.
The decision to open further meetings to the media would have to be made by the NCAA board of directors, according to an NCAA spokesman. The governance restructuring discussion is expected to be a seminal moment in NCAA history.
"If we do the old style, which is closed, and put out some sort of press release at the end," Schulz said, "people have already been on Twitter for five hours talking about the same sort of thing."
Schulz added that it would help if the media understood first-hand how the NCAA gets to a new governance model. The membership is working hurriedly to adjust with the Big 5 conferences (Pac-12, Big 12, Big Ten, ACC, SEC) demanding more autonomy in how the NCAA operates.
The voting structure is definitely expected to change with those BCS schools having more power.
"Everybody recognizes at the end of the day we gotta have each other," Schulz said. "But we don't have to let the University of Texas-Corpus Christi decide what the University of Texas is going to do. We have way too much of that kind of thing going on."
The large conferences want that autonomy so they aren't bogged down by NCAA bureaucracy. There has been a wide-ranging discussion about student-athlete welfare. That could mean everything from schools being able to provide three meals a day at training table to a cost-of-attendance stipend.
On the media issue, Schulz added: "If somebody says [to media], 'Here's a little bit of constraint. It doesn't mean you can't write a story but don't identify the people.' OK, I can live with that but I'll [as a media member] be there for eight hours because I want to hear the deliberations.
"Some of the NCAA communications members I've talked with say, 'Kirk keep preaching it because we know that's what we've got to do.' "
In its overview for governance redesign the NCAA itself describes the process as encouraging, "open, transparent and interactive dialogue."
In an August 2013, the NCAA board decided to move forward with governance restructuring. Board chairman Nathan Hatch, president of Wake Forest, appointed that steering committee.
In addition to Schulz and Hatch, the other members are Gene Block, UCLA chancellor; Rita Cheng, SIU-Carbondale; Michael Drake, chancellor, Cal-Irvine; David Leebron, president, Rice and Harris Pastides, president, South Carolina.

:lol:
I met Eric Stonestreet last November when we were lucky enough to hobnob with the cast of the sitcom, Modern Family, on their set in LA. I asked him about Kansas State and his love affair with his alma mater. “Man, there’s just something in the water out there in Manhattan that just makes you love that place,” he said. He then told me a great story about shooting a TV commercial last football season where the set had logos of a number of college teams but no K-State gear. It seems K-State had not approved the use of their logo for the shoot. Stonestreet immediately got out his cell phone and first called John Currie, KSU’s AD, but was not happy with Currie’s passive response. He then phoned Kirk Schulz, KSU’s president. Schulz got the paperwork signed, the K-State logo was added to the shoot and Stonestreet starred in the commercial. EMAW!

Schulz is a stud.

yeah, good read. the animal keeps being a stud boss and he might not be here that much longer :(

I was thinking the other day about how The Animal graduated from Virginia Tech, worked at Mississippi State, and is now (obviously) at K-State. Those are the only three schools that don't have a team National Championship. So I guess we shouldn't plan on winning one while he's here.
-
i absolutely remember the animal and all the other people talking for about fifteen minutes each back when kstate was trying to decide who to hire. it was broadcasted on local townie tv. the animal was the only one that mentioned sports and how important they were. i'm glad we didn't hire either of the other older nerdier president guys.

We got one semi-admission: The NCAA was getting hammered in the PR war. “We’re seen as a bit dinosaurlike,” said Kirk Schulz, the president of Kansas State.
How do you fix that? I asked Schulz later.
“We need some of you all in the room when we’re having those discussions,” he said. “With some constraints — so you don’t say President X said this or President Y said that … So you’re in the room and you’re hearing the discussion and actively there and listening.
“I think if we don’t have you in the room,” Schulz continued, “that at some point there’s a lack of appreciation for the complexity of these issues and why we’re doing the things that we’re doing.”
I’ll admit, it didn’t sound quite so insulting until I listened to it again on my recorder.
