QuoteThe big projects for KSU have been West Stadium ($81 M) and the new Vanier Complex ($65 M). Between those two and other Football stuff, we are probably Around $150 Million "behind." However, Those two projects brought facilities up to the level (And in some areas surpassed) what Kansas already had. So it is hardly a fair comparison.
Their new Vanier complex is their main Athletic Department facility, so it should be better compared to the Anderson Strength Complex, Wagnon Student-Athlete Center, and everything else behind AFH. Kansas has and still has world class facilities available to all student athletes. Kansas State just entered out level. So compare that to our current Football Facility, and the current Student Athlete facilities behind AFH. Their new facility has the "new" feel, and it is very nice, but Kansas has had comparable facilities for years. New stuff always has the "fresh coat of paint" but no one should feel that we are horribly behind on that. They just happen to put theit facility by the Football stadium, and it has gained the benefit of that proximity.
and i dont mean not to be proactive but we cant just go pick up garbage schools to try and hold on to p5 status
umm yeah actually we prove that time and time again in bowl games. its okay tho because none of this even matters at this point
not even rough ridin' close. those three teams in the big 10 are combined 97-23 the last three years and thats with a 7-6 season in 2012 by msu. ohio state has lost three games total in the last three years. only alabama can be mentioned with them and ou has sucked lately. minnesota is better and iowa would finish 5th in the big 12. you're giving to much credit to teams in our bottom half. the big 10 is simply better overallwhats wrong with it slim?well comparing ou/texas/baylor to ohio state/wisconsin/michigan state for starters.
you don't think that TCU, Baylor, and OU were on par with OSU, Wisconsin and MSU?
My point is that the top of our conference is about even with the big 10 but they have a huge amount of schools that don't compete whatsoever

The Big XII is an irrelevant conference in CFB, it is now essentially a beefed up Mountain West and clearly a step behind the SEC, Big Ten, the ACC (with the addition of ND), and Pac 12. Like the Mountain West, WAC, MAC, and C-USA a team from the Big XII will need to be undefeated and get very very lucky to get into the playoff. Could happen once every couple decades maybe (not that it will because the soon enough major CFB will be closed off to teams outside the Big 4 conference).
OU and Texas are smart to look to land in a conference that matters (even at the cost of having less "power").
No lie, I love this conference. It makes me sad everyone doesn't feel that way. No rough ridin' way I want to play teams from fat away lands.
KU actually has a very nice video board, that's a little bigger than the one we are putting in now. We should emulate KU's configuration for the new South Videoboard whenever that happens.
wow that's terribleI feel like my seats may be too good to see it.
I heard the first 12 rows on both sidelines just see the powercat on the bottom when you look up at the scoreboard from those seats
Quick question, does anyone have an idea what will be in the NE corner of the stadium when the Vanier Football Complex is done?
None of the pics on kstatesports or elsewhere have indicated.
I think it will be another video board above some terraces like the NW corner...this all will be completed a year later than the NE corner and the Vanier building tho.
so you wouldn't take byu over tcu or ku right now?How hard would getting Nebraska to come back be?cu would be a better bet. We really did eff up not taking Louisville or byu
good grief, nobody mumped up by not adding garbage'y byu
That's hilarious that we are hoping to land some hillbilly from a 2A school in Kansas Jesus rough ridin' Christ, at least Josh Reid was good. Roll out the rough ridin' Copenhagen for this kid this weekend I guess....jesus christ
