"I don't regret going to Kansas but now I am going to Memphis, I feel like I should be there," said Henry, who was in tears when he heard his name called. "I'm going to be happy I am there. I am going to give it my all as soon as I step into the city."

"Cole has made so many sacrifices for himself and his family when he came back this year," Self said. "And Xavier to live out his dream and play only one year here is a great moment for both those kids."

Seff going so far as to join NBA TV in a last-ditch effort to publicly trash his early-entries.

You need to have a different username for your own personal posts and use the BMWWcat username for satirical posts that an EMAW version of BMW would make.  :dunno:

Need to have a crew of katpak'rs to go to this and have their own table(s).  

I'm also up for hosting a non-KSU-event-related weekend pak for locals, wichita natives back for the summer or anyone wanting to escape their families (which may or may not be making their lives worthwhile) to come pak it up.  Johnny Wichita's Sunday mini-pak a few weeks ago was a rousing success, and there's definitely seeds for a nice-weather, weekend chilled out* pak in old town and/or out at the lake.

*one could call it iced out if there's going to be lots of bros there

MANHATTAN, Kan. - National Basketball Association trade talk is swirling with much of the chatter involving former Kansas State All-American Michael Beasley.

To that, the former Wildcat laughs as he says, "If it happens, it happens. Honestly, I'm hoping the league will put a franchise in Manhattan, Kansas. I could get excited about that."

But now, he repeats, "If it happens, it happens. No hard feelings for anybody. It's life. It's the game. Got to move on. I really don't want to leave Miami. I hope I don't get traded, but if I do, I've got to love life, keep living."

Beasley, who returned to Manhattan this week to see friends, just completed his second NBA season with the Miami Heat where he averaged 14.8 points on 45 percent shooting from the field (27 percent from 3-point range) and 80 percent from the line, plus pulled down 6.4 rebounds per game.

While his numbers were up from his rookie season - 13.9 points and 5.4 rebounds - Beasley said, "The year was up and down ... not as I expected, but I'm getting better."

Overall, he added, "I'm pleased because I played hard and never gave up. But I'm not pleased because I was inconsistent."

With maturity always being an issue with Beasley, he now says, "It's like any job. You learn as you go. You don't go in knowing it all the first day. I'm as mature as I need to be as a 21-year-old living life."

"Don't expect nothing from me, and you'll be happy after every game. I'm tired of expectations," Beasley said of the pressure he's faced as a No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft and the mega-salary that goes with it. "I was supposed to be this. I was supposed to be that. I'm going to play basketball and be who I am."

Beasley was the No. 2 choice in the 2008 NBA Draft following his record-shattering freshman year at K-State in 2007-08 when he averaged 26.2 points per game and a nation-leading 14.2 rebounds per game.

"I love Manhattan and loved being at K-State, but it was a decision I had to make for a lot of people," said Beasley of leaving the Wildcat program after just one year. "I love my life now, but I do miss Manhattan."

The 6-foot-10, 235-pounder said he followed "every game" this past year and was the Wildcats' "tallest cheerleader."

"I followed them when they weren't ranked, to when they were No. 20, to when they were No. 5. Every night they played, I was paying attention," said Beasley, who would have been a junior this past season.

Gazing off into nowhere, Beasley added, "If me and Bill (Walker, who also entered the draft early) would have stayed around, we would have won the national championship."

Of this year's KSU team, Beasley said, "They played hard. They played hard on defense, grabbed all the rebounds and took charges. They played with a passion."

Turning to the current NBA playoffs, Beasley's prediction is that the Los Angeles Lakers will win it all, primarily because of Kobe Bryant, who along with LeBron James, he says, "... are the best players in the league, along with Ray Allen. Kobe is so good and plays with so much poise."

Pausing, and without being questioned on the topic, Beasley offered, "It's a level that I will be at some day."

I also got an e-mail in the last day or so that there'd be no GPC interview with this peep because they'd been told he was in town to relax and wouldn't be doing interviews.  Gots to let the man get a pita.  Guess Mike softened his stance for Janssen.  :dunno:

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Feasibility

[Comment From Mark]
Can you tell us about the basketball practice facility? Any new updates.
11:10
[Comment From johns]
Can you give us some insight on how fund raising is going for the next facilities expansion?
11:10
[Comment From Norm]
Regarding the design of the basketball practice facility, will it “blend in” with Bramlage? Will expansion occur on the east and west sides of Bramlage? It would be nice to avoid the final product looking “uneven”. Will locker rooms and basketball offices be expanded with this project?
11:10
[Comment From John]
Do you expect to break ground on BB practice facility this year?
11:10
[Comment From Chris]
How much progress is being made towards the ground breaking of the new basketball practice facility?
11:13
Thanks Mark, John, Norm, John and Chris... well, everyone, for your questions re basketball practice facility!
The good news is that we are continuing to work on the feasibility of this project. In my mind it is our top facility priority at this moment in time. The initial discussions we have had are very encouraging.
Currently we anticipate that the facility would go on the east side of Bramlage- the master plan would include two courts, offices, lockerrooms, etc.
i'm excited about the progress.

[Comment From Jack]
You have publically commented about adding additional seating to Bramlage as an additional revenue generating avenue. I think I speak for many, when suggest filling a substantial portion of the large South tunnel with retractable seating in basketball configuration. This would add at least 150+ ticketed seats and eliminate the unsightly grey tarp that acts as a shooting backdrop for our opponents in the second half. Thanks, John. EMAW!
12:14
Thanks Jack- that is a suggestion that has been discussed- -there are some fire code and cost issues with that but it isa good idea - Not sure that'll happen this year but we'll continue to evaluate feasibility.

Just got e-mailed a fundraising idea.

Quote
I was kicking around a non profit fundraising idea for K-State and wanted to get some input.

Here's the basic idea. We would set up a site at www.SomeName.org (or maybe through the KSU Foundation's current site?) that would be roughly similar to GPC in structure (article side and message board side), though completely different in content (it would be a philanthropy site, not a sports site). The site would have a membership fee of $10/month, of which $5 would go to an 'immediate philanthropy' fund and the other $5 would go to a special venture fund. Note that 100% of the 'fee' (which is really a philanthropic donation) would be passed on.

Each month the members would vote on who/what should receive the 'immediate philanthropy' fund (it could be spent on anything that is KSU-related). Members would be free to nominate and argue for philanthropic causes/recipients they'd like the group to select, but each member would get only one vote. This 'immediate philanthropy' fund would be a way of giving boosters and donors (who already want to and do give tons of money to the university and its Foundation) another way to give. The low cost might also open up the possibility of signing up a lot of students who normally wouldn't donate money to K-State. I think students (and other K-Staters with small budgets) would appreciate having a direct say (via the site's message board) and vote in where the money goes.

The remaining half of the money would accumulate in a special venture fund. Ideally we would sponsor a special quarterly (at worst, annual) business plan competition for KSU students/alumni and enlist KSU professors as judges. Proceeds from these investments would be divvied up, with half going to the 'immediate philanthropy' fund and half going to the venture fund. [Note that this is an attempt to create a positive feedback loop: as more and more business plan winners receive funding and launch their endeavors, more value would be created for the venture fund (unless all of them crashed and burned), which would then result in larger and larger amounts of funding for each period's business plan competition, etc.]

If we could amass 10,000 members, we would be able to give a $50,000 'immediate philanthropy' grant each month while also accumulating $150,000 for the special venture fund each quarter just from membership fees. Early on, these fees would account for almost all of the philanthropic funds. Down the road, however, earnings from the venture funding activities should catch and eventually dwarf the earnings from membership fees. The venture arm gives us the chance to generate billions in funding for K-State. To get a sense of the long-term potential, imagine the magnitude and consistency of earnings from having, say, a 10% stake in 1,000 different companies, all of whom had won lucrative and highly competitive business plan contests. (Many of the startups would surely fail, but there would be a very large number of survivors, too.)

The site's articles would be primarily about 4 things:

1) Stories and updates about current and past recipients of the 'immediate philanthropy' grants;

2) Stories and updates about the business plan winners who receive venture funding;

3) Stories about potential recipients of the 'immediate philanthropy' grants;

4) General K-State philanthropy news

Like I say, this is just an idea I've been kicking around. My thinking is that the 'immediate philanthropy' grants would satisfy an urge for instant gratification and keep interest level high, whereas the venture side would provide a mechanism for achieving high top-end results, thereby at least giving us a chance at catching up to schools like UT in the endowment department (theirs is currently about 20 times larger than ours).

Any of you wish something like this existed?
