kind of sad.
From what I hear it was extremely unbecoming for a person of Beebe's stature.
Groveling, tears, pleading, bribing, threats . . . all the emotions, all the phases, but he could not convince K-State to stay in the Big 12. My source used the following words and phrases to describe the K-State administration during the process: Steely eyed, driven, stalwart, unmoving, stoic, iron willed, unyielding, unmoved, and unrelenting . . . cold, distant, icy . . . sharks . . . Borg's in human vessels . . .
The only bright spot for Beebe was when UPKS offered to give him a recommendation and to make a few phone calls on his behalf.
