so is it official now that wefald was one of fitz's it's patterson sources and was using fitz to put that info out as quickly as possible knowing full well that it would kill the deal and they could put snyder back in charge? i mean, this has been the strong rumor all along, but does this pretty much make it fact? wefald using fitz to reinstall snyder and fitz falling on the sword? or did fitz know full well what he was doing and did he do it for a reason? money, etc.?
Fun to think about, but not a chance.
Fitz reported what he thought was true. I doubt any of it came from Wefald. Even if it did, how would Wefald know that a leak would "kill the deal?" That agreement, if there ever was one, would have been the first one I've ever seen that was broken off because of an early media report.
The same thing happens all the time: Media report announces University X will hire Coach Y. Coach Y responds and calls the report "untrue" and "inaccurate." Two days later, Coach Y is introduced as the head coach at University X.
In Patterson's case, everything except the last part happened. Likely because there was never a deal in place. If Patterson would kill a deal over a report that didn't even come from the university, then odds are he never truly wanted to come to K-State to begin with.
