Given the spirit of the times, I feel confident in offering the following predictions for the year 2025:
- After an unprecedented 15 National Championships in 15 years, ESPN names the Kansas State Wildcats the greatest college basketball program of all time.
- A citizen campaign to draft Wildcats Head Coach Frank Martin to run for Governor of Kansas fails after it is exposed as a front group run by KU boosters and administrators.
- Frank signs a 25-year extension to continue coaching the Cats.
- K-State becomes a top-50 research university.
I know, I know -- these predictions are awfully safe and bland. I would have made a slightly more daring prediction that we win the next 50 NCs and become the greatest sports program of all time, but I thought that that might be veering a bit into powerespect territory.
