TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Football => Topic started by: Pete on May 02, 2010, 05:27:09 PM

Dear KU fans, alumni, students, faculty, administrators, and athletic staff,
We at goEMAW are spearheading an awareness initiative throughout the state of Kansas over the coming weeks and months.
Our goal is to ensure the long term (READ: Forever) conference synchronization of the Kansas State University and the University of Kansas.
Maintaining the alignment of our two top Kansas institutions in a single conference helps to ensure the most effective use of our collective state resources. That's why we are leading a grass roots movement to inform all Kansas legislative personnel, at all levels, about the necessity of legislatively mandating that KSU and KU forever remain in the same conference.
Obviously, we understand that the consequence of this initiative is that both institutions are relegated to "mid major" status.
We are aware that there may be some opposition to such a notion, particularly amongst certain small, but vocal, "fans" of the University of Kansas. Much of the KU fanbase is made up of a non-voting, uneducated populous that is unaware of the primary academic missions of our two flag-ship universities. However, we are certain that when the great weight of the VOTING Kansan voices demand their legislators ensure the conference synchronization of KU and KSU, they'll hear our message loud and clear.
Keep KU and KSU together, or fail to be re-elected.
We have already enjoyed tremendous support from soon-to-be Governor Sam Brownback (KSU alumnus), and the senior Senator from Kansas, Pat Roberts (KSU alumnus). We implore each of you to join our initiative and tell your legislators to "Keep KU and KSU together." We may both be mid majors, but we'll be together, and that's what matters most.
Contact your legislator here:

Why don't we use this opportunity to ditch the only team that we can't beat in basketball?

Why don't we use this opportunity to ditch the only team that we can't beat in basketball?
BEcause that same school is one of the few we can beat in football, and every other sport.

Great question Chum, I'm glad you asked it.
This is about ensuring the mutual "success" of both of our flagship institutions. The most important facet of this important initiative is to properly define "success." It means the enhancement of our ability to ensure the enrichment of our student athletes.
Now, an almost certain result of this initiative is that KSU and KU enter a conference with a decreased emphasis on just "winning" games, and instead focus more on educating young people. Some call this a "Mid Major" mindset, we call it the RIGHT mindset. A natural outcome of this is that KU will, no doubt, suffer some perceived decrease to their Men's basketball tradition and standing on the national scene. With that will come a regression of KU's men's basketball program to the mean of college basketball standards and accomplishments....In short, they'll "win" less. As a result, KSU will be positioned to "win" their fair share of games in the series, though that is beside the point. Although, I'll wager that most REAL KU fans will not be bothered by this in the slightest and will instead cherish their reinforced commitment to the high educational standards that make them so proud (deservedly so).
Everyone is going to "succeed." Everyone is going to "win."
Thanks again for your question, Chum.
Go State of Kansas!

My problem with this proposal is that it also will bring Wichita State up to equilibrium, which isn't good, because aside from TheShocker* they don't deserve to have nice things

I understand, and share, your revulsion of this idea. However, due to various aeronautical mechanical issues, they do not have a football team and will therefore remain forever inferior. They simply won't have the resources that schools that fill their football stadium with 25K+ fans-a-week will have.

Great News!
I have reason to believe that General Richard Myers (K-State Alumnus), the former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is "on board" with this as well. Obviously, this is encouraging news, given General Meyers close relationship with giant Kansas employer Boeing Corporation (and their considerable political clout in this State).

campaign needs a slogan, imo.

The State of KANSAS. MID-America. MID-major. TOGETHER. :dunno:

Trim's is fine. How about my sig line? :dunno:
Slogan, no slogan...the real point here is that this IS happening. Our voices are being heard, and KU and KSU will never be apart. Ever.

Shouldn't we have legislation in place to keep us and our true rivals Texas in the same conference? America
wants needs the CTR.

Clearly this is desired by BOTH K-State and UT fans, but the aTm crowd is still bitter about our meat judging victories. Good idea though, let's keep this "juices flowing" on this very important topic.

I'm sure UT will do some sort of 2 for 1 deal like they do with most other MIDs. Maybe if we're lucky we can get a 3 for 2 or something. I'd take it, honestly.

Some of the posters on your rival's board seem to think that if MU and NU bolt, Texas will dissolve the conference and form a new "Western Alliance" conference that would look like this:
West:
* USC
* UCLA
* Stanford
* Cal
* Oregon
* Oregon State
* Washington
* Utah
East:
* Texas
* Texas A&M
* Oklahoma
* Kansas
* Colorado
* Arizona
* Arizona State
* BYU, Texas Tech or Iowa State
(didn't know where else to post this for discussion)

Which other board are you referencing? It must be made up of complete fracking idiots, because there is no way KU and K-State aren't in the same conference. If you'd care to debate that issue, please be prepared to specifically name politicians in the State of Kansas who expressly support your position, as I have above.
You got a soon-to-be governor? Nope.
The senior US Senator from the state? Nope.
A majority of graduates in both the house and senate of the state legislature? Nope.
If you enjoy wasting your time concocting fantasies, perhaps you'd consider giving me a breakdown between who would win between the Borg and the Empire, it would be more entertaining and equally as plausible of becoming reality.

fwiw, the politicians in the state have to listen to their KU constituents too and can only do what they can do to protect the state's assets. if they think that KU has more to gain than K-State has to lose then they'd be foolish not to move forward with the plan.

Hopefully this will be delayed until Brownback is governor. He's totally EMAW and would never let us get fracked like this.

K-State and ukans goes together like peas and carrots.

Got to agree w/ this. There is absolutely no possible way KU ever competes at a mid-major level, or belongs to a conference not tied to the BCS. Too much money, too much tradition, too much alumni contributions, too much of a national interest to all of a sudden be the best program in the C-USA.
K-State on the other hand....

Lot of chowder heads in this thread.
Have any of you ever met General Myers? Do you have any idea what the chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs of Staff means? That guys didn't watch his buddies die in a pool of bloody mud and entrails to have his Alma Mater get jobbed by a rag tag bunch of KU attorneys and property developers.
One the largest suppliers of military hardware in the world has operations in this state, a firm whose relationships with military leadership are valued above all other "assets." Guess who leaves the state of Kansas if K-State and KU are broken up? Boeing. They are held onto by a shoe string. In addition to the 2586 Boeing employees in Kansas, the company also works with 464 suppliers/vendors around the state. You want to break up KU and K-State, well that's going to make a certain ally of Boeing very unhappy. You think Boeing won't pick up the phone and make some calls to Kansas legislators? You think those legislators want to jeopardize all those jobs?
K-State might as well change it's name to the the "real WEST Point." Done deal, boys.

Hatter, we've planned for many contingencies. Just as John Currie stated, it's like planning for a battle, where we as civilians throw out military euphemisms (e.g Rubicon crossings, etc.)....so you know we are serious about stuff.
So, yeah, I know quite a few questionable chicks from Topeka that I can call. Honey pots will be be a' plenty.

Perkins and John Currie, the K-State athletic director, said Tuesday that both schools were committed to the Big 12 and to each other. Currie said the Big 12 “will continue to be strong and viable.”
Perkins went out of his way to say KU wanted to stay tied to K-State.
“We have such great respect for K-State, and our relationship is getting stronger and stronger,” he said. “We think we have to be in the same footprint with K-State. That’s important to us.”

He also fears traditional rivalries at the local and regional levels would lose their flair. That’s why, no matter what happens, he sees value in remaining in the same conference as Kansas.
“I think our two institutions are linked together …,” Currie said. “We have a terrific relationship at an administrative level with KU.
“I know our president and their chancellor are relatively new, and are both committed to working together proactively to serve our constituents. I know me and Lew Perkins have spent a lot of time talking together about things we can do to strengthen both of our institutions.”

The bond between KU and KSU will not be diminished if Lew leaves. It might even be strengthened. There will be no strong leader/voice on the "KU side" to usurp the will of the Regents....which is to keep the schools together.
Lew leaving DOES potentially impact the quality of the conference we are both "stuck" in. However, this does not concern me as much as our ability to ensure that we stay together forever, regardless of how horribly it hurts our mutual conference placement.

Which school is geographically closer to Topeka? Check.
Which school consistently gets more money and resources from the state between the two flagship schools? Check.
Which school has more influence in Johnson (gag) County, the mothers milk of campaign contributions? Check.
You know where this is going. Military contractors, General Myers, etc. is only a small part of the picture. Sam Brownback is going to be having a lot more problems to deal with than conference realignment.
Having said all that, K-State has as much or more to offer than ku, so each school should go it's own separate way, which will probably end up bein the same way when it's all said and done...after all, who wants to split the relatively small number of TV sets in Kansas two ways?
I'd lay off clinging to ku, they don't deserve the artificial sense of superiority that gives them.

Nebraska's departure could trigger a Big 12 breakup, a troublesome scenario for KU and K-State. The two in-state rivals have become allies on this issue, with officials from both schools — Currie, K-State president Kirk Schulz and KU athletic director Lew Perkins — expressing unified support for the Big 12.
"What makes me happy and proud is that both KU and K-State have worked as a team throughout these meetings in Kansas City, basically as one voice," said Dan Lykins, a member of the Kansas Board of Regents. "I think that's helped a lot. Both ADs, Lew Perkins and John Currie, are working closely with other ADs. President Schulz gave a real inspirational speech at one of the meetings. I know he's very well respected among the other presidents and ADs."
If the Big 12 falls apart, KU and K-State will be looking for a new home. Wherever they go, Lykins said, they will go together.
"KU and K-State will always be in the same conference together," Lykins said. "There's not going to be a split."
