A couple gems from the KC Star:
Listen here folks, the B12 is a dead dog. Ol' Yeller got the rabbis

"i read today that the main reason baylor threatened a lawsuit is because they have already sunk a large portion of the potential tv money into a new stadium and iowa state and kstate are in the same boat (being that they have spent the money before they got it) anybody know anything on that? "

Do ku fans not understand they are pretty deep in debt?

K-State hasn't floated any debt for stadium improvements . . . yet.

It's good to see the Little Validation Train that Could is back on the board today . . . welcome.

I'm kinda pissed at Andy Katz for including K-State in that article. Including Lannou's comments about "budgeting improvements" after the TV deal was signed was misleading. He failed to mention that the improvements didn't require the use of future revenue from the new TV deal.

"We had talks with other schools, but we were never offered the opportunity to go to another conference,"  he said. "I thought our basketball would drive us a little bit more, but I wasn't angry about it or even disappointed. It just reinforced the importance of football."

"Every piece of expansion that has taken place over the last 20 years has been about football, period. Nothing else," said former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese. "Even with an incredible basketball program like Kansas, that's basically an add-on."

Wait, I thought they had numerous options last year? But remember the Orange Bowl?  Larry Scott's jet was on the way...

Angry email time!

Apparently none of those conferences know Patrick-Longtime Television Insider.   If they did, they would know that ku is worth just as much as Notre Dame to their conference.   They should get to know Patrick, he's an insider.  BTW, Davis is quoting Lew Perkins, one time greatest athletic director in the world and builder of a "Monster" at ku.

K-State would change the name of their university to Lew Perkins State if he had brought you guys a national championship and a BCS Bowl.  God, I love it.

Lol.

Good job, Dax.  You just clown suited that mongoloid.

"Perkins stressed to me that he has a very high opinion of his successor at KU, Sheahon Zenger, and he warned that "people should not underestimate the University of Kansas."

 LEW !

[sonofdaxjones]

Beems, we love Lew, he gave ku some short lived glory, piled up a mountain of debt and walked out the door virtually unscathed by one of the biggest scandals in college sports with millions of dollars of ku's money and athletic equipment in his pocket and storage shed.

To Lew Perkins . . .

We love Lew as well.  He upgraded our athletic facilities and brought us an unprecedented level of success in both men's basketball and football.  The only other school to win a national title and BCS Bowl in the same season is Florida. 


To Lew Perkins!     

[sonofdaxjones]

Grats Beems . . . of course on the football side that was followed by one of the biggest 2 year free falls in college football history, a fired coach, money from a defrocked former CEO, and 4 or 5 athletic department employees going to Federal Prison.  Leaving ku athletics needing every dollars of instituational support and student fees in order avoid finishing the 2009-2010 academic year out of the red.

Wow.  Seth Davis says KU and K-State inseparably attached at the hip and both clinging to the same life raft.

What a bitter pill to swallow for both Kansas schools.  Good thing we've got our brother's shoulder to cry on and vice versa.

[ben ji]

Would kill a drifter for this so yes, i guess I'd be okay with them renaming the university in his honor and me staying out of jail.
