How did we convince Ramirez to gray shirt?

There is something weird going on with him

WTF is going on w/ our recruiting?  So is it for sure Ramirez is a gray shirt?  How is it our top rated high school player is a gray shirt?

Does anyone have info on which recruits were here over the weekend and give specs on how good/bad they are?

look at this rube.   is this your first year following the WRSOAT?

Ok, I am somewhat new here........1st off, what does WRSOAT stand for?  Haven't been able to figure that out......

2nd off, I am a firm believer in our piss poor recruiting, now and forever...

This thread is very confusing...sorry I am a new dude here, who are this Attorney Cat and Caption Crap?  I take it they are ITK?  How do we know that they are in the know?

They other thing that is sad is that these 2 coaches that have left were our best recruiters.  Now that doesn't say much 'cause our recruiting sucks something nasty, but to have your 2 top recruiters leave from a toilet bowl full of crappy recruiters, that doesn't leave you w/ much, right?

I know I did this earlier in this recruiting thread but here it goes...........

I seriously doubt this new HS DT makes it here, or if he makes it here, says "WTF is this place, no beaches? I am outta here".  We DON'T sign HS DT's, thus the one that got his butt tasered in MO and this dude will not make it here anyways.

Trust me, I am all  that we land these dudes, but my pessimistic side is all like  waiting for the  when they go elsewhere.

Big earnings for power conferences

NEW YORK -- The financial gap between college football's haves and have-nots is about to grow even larger.

During the 12-year contract for college football's new playoff format, the nation's five power conferences (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC) will earn an average of nearly $75 million more per year than the smaller leagues known as the "group of five."

From 2014-25, the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC will earn an average of at least $91 million annually, sources told ESPN. By comparison, the average for the group of five -- Big East, Mountain West, Mid-American, Conference USA and Sun Belt -- during that 12-year period will be about $17.25 million annually.

The BCS recently signed a 12-year contract with ESPN. The deal averages to $470 million annually, sources said. Of that amount, about $125 million is expected to go toward expenses, including an academic reward component, game participation, team expenses, allotment to Football Championship Subdivision conferences and other items.

It leaves an average of $345 million annually, which the commissioners have decided to split in two ways: 75 percent ($258.75 million) divided equally between the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC, and the remaining 25 percent ($86.25 million) divided among the Big East, MWC, MAC, C-USA and Sun Belt.

That alone gives the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC an average of $51.75 million annually. The SEC, Big 12, Pac-12 and Big Ten also will each receive an additional $40 million annually for their contract bowl deals with ESPN: Allstate Sugar (SEC, Big 12) and Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio (Pac-12, Big 12).

The ACC also will earn at least an additional $27.5 million annually for its ESPN contract bowl deal with the Orange. The ACC's opponent will either be Notre Dame or a team from the SEC and Big Ten. If the SEC or Big Ten places a team in the Orange Bowl, that league would earn another $27.5 million, increasing the SEC or Big Ten's playoff revenue share to $118 million.

Notre Dame's exact compensation for playing in the Orange Bowl during the ESPN deal is not known, but sources told ESPN it would be "substantially less" than the $27.5 million payout to an ACC, SEC or Big Ten team.

In the new playoff format, Notre Dame is expected to receive an average of about $4 million during the 12-year contract, sources said. If the Irish play in the national semifinals or one of the six major bowls, Notre Dame would receive a great deal more than the $4 million amount.

Only three of those six major, or host, bowls that will hold the semifinals have been determined: Rose, Sugar and Orange. The other three are expected to be Fiesta, Cotton and Chick-fil-A, sources told ESPN.

The SEC, at least in 2014, will be rewarded financially for its past on-field success, having won six consecutive BCS titles. Sources said the SEC should receive more playoff revenue in 2014 than any other league.

In the current BCS system, the SEC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, ACC and Big East each received an automatic BCS bowl berth, earning each league $23.6 million. If a league received a second BCS bowl berth, it earned an additional $6.2 million.

So while the SEC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC will increase from $23.6 million to an average of $91 million over the 12-year period, the Big East will see a decline in revenues in the new format. That's because automatic-qualifying designations will end in 2014. The Presidential Oversight Committee and the commissioners determined the Big East was no longer a power conference because of the number of teams that have left the league.

So the Big East will be included in the "group of five." Those conferences, the Big East, MAC, Sun Belt, MWC and C-USA, must determine how to distribute their $86.25 million amongst themselves.

In the past, those leagues, formally known as the non-automatic qualifying conferences, gave each league the same base amount and then rewarded the conferences based on their cumulative BCS ranking as a conference. Exactly how that will be done in the new system is still being negotiated between the Big East, MAC, Sun Belt, MWC and C-USA, sources said.

While the Big East's average annual revenue from the new playoff will be reduced by about $5 million annually, the remaining smaller conferences -- C-USA, Sun Belt, MWC and MAC -- will see an increase of at least five times what they received in the BCS system.

Also included in the new $470 million of annual revenue is $37.5 million for schools that meet the NCAA's minimum academic requirement, or Academic Progress Rate scores. Each conference will receive $300,000 per school to be distributed to each league member that meets the NCAA's minimum APR.

Nebraska president Harvey Perlman said last month in Denver that only the schools in each league that meet the APR requirements will receive that money.

Using Perlman's example, the Big Ten (with 14 members) will have $4.2 million to distribute to its member schools that meet the APR numbers. If all 14 meet the APR standard, they each would receive $300,000 each. However, if only 12 of 14 met the standard, those dozen schools would receive $350,000 and the two schools that didn't meet the standard, would not receive any of the academic money.

All of the financial figures are annual average projections, based on gross value, and could fluctuate each year depending on the yearly revenue.

Holy Crap!   Either ESPN is huge beyond huge, or they are living the American dream and just living off of tremendous amount of debt.....which would kind of be funny if all of a sudden they just filed bankruptcy..

Are we just going to stockpile Juco guys here or do we even go after any more hs recruits (other than ones from small town usa kansas that may be a walkon or greyshirt)?   

Also, surely we would not take 2 juco QB's, right?  Who would you guys rather have b/w the 2? What if Marshall commits after this weekend, do we then tell the Iowa college guy to stick it?

Maybe this thread should be renamed "the Lilja", since that is all everyone is talking about.....or maybe it's just because there is nothing else (recruiting) to talk about......

4-star Ramirez bringing 4-star Jamone Boyd with him on the visit this weekend.  Also, mystery visitor on offense...me thinks that might be another of Boyd's friends (hint: OL).  That is what my gut has told me since reading it.

Is this still unofficial, or are they making it official?

would think they are official visits.

I assume Eddie Lacy is still coming.

Man, if so, it would be nice for all of them to get along really well and decide they want to come to Kansas State.

With the Garden City guys.

And the Pierce guys.

Pretty much anyone coming on 12/1.

You guys are too funny....getting your hopes up on some 4 star recruits, who in the end, won't commit cause they get to see up close how old Synder is......and then we will pick up some usual NR turds.....

THis thread still sucks
