You better have some rough ridin' answers, Currie.

[Kat Kid]

Why is it so hard for people to understand that Currie is really good at some of his responsibilities, but very bad at others?  Praise and criticism are not mutually exclusive.  And as far as the praise goes, maybe Currie can look to the apt compensation befitting an athletics director at Kansas State.

I really don't understand the hatred for ADJC.

i don't know the man personally, so i can only rely on those i trust who have a better feel for him.  both trim and frank martin dislike him, which is good enough for me.

he is better than what we've had in the past

It is dumb on Currie's part.  But's it's more arrogance.

He simply thinks he can have his cake and eat it too.  In his mind he believes he can pad his resume by boasting about winning programs AND claim a squeaky clean compliance track record. 

When you have two very high-profile compliance violations in two basketball seasons, how can you claim to have a squeaky clean compliance record?

The image of a vigilance to compliance is what it appears he's trying to uphold.

This seems like pretty piss-poor compliance. You have a player that has been on your watch for your entire tenure and he thinks it's OK to take $200 from an AAU coach? You haven't educated Jamar enough to at least get him to ask what to do about getting fed before he asked an AAU coach that is being sued by a former player for being an agent runner? On top of that, it took place in possibly the most public way imaginable. I'm sure University Presidents are super impressed by the way Currie got "AAU Coach", "cash", and "Kansas State University" in headlines across the country during possibly the highest-profile weekend of the NCAA calendar.

Frank's comments are what upsets me most.  He felt his kid was betrayed.  If Frank had come out and said "Jamar made a big mistake, we still love him, but he had to sit", I'd feel differently.

[EMAWmeister]

JFC, that scout board really is the dumbest place on earth.

I believe in mis-information as well as the next guy.  But KSU is one of the leading Land Grant Universities in the world.  If a KSU student is hungry, he/she can walk over to Grain Science and they can snarf down all the bread crumbs they want out of the baking labs.

I do not think Jamar needed money for FOOD.

good point (that frank is also better than what we've had in the past)

Are we close to having an argument over whether or not Jamar should be on food stamps?

[Cartierfor3]

this would never have happened in football.  never.

Eh.  Broderick may disagree.  OTOH, Ell Roberson played the entire Fiesta Bowl.

It wouldn't have been done like this though, that's for certain.

No, but they are basically saying "well those blacks spend all that pell grant money on tattoos and jordan bball shoes!  ".

Just rough ridin' embarassing.

I have a hard time believing that if Snyder thought the kid should play and Currie didn't, that Currie would win.

Currie blames the issue on someone else, and claims he's the good guy by reporting it.

[wetwillie]

Is it unreasonable to expect clarification from the A.D on the matter?  If transparency is the end game then why would a thorough explanation of the circumstances and thought process that led to the decision be withheld.

comparing jamar samuels to ell roberson, good grief.  ell roberson was 100 times more important to the success of his team than jamar.

This has become a national story with people making fair or unfair accusations against our University, yet our Athletic Department remains silent. It really pisses me off.

[Rams]

This is apples to oranges.  Roberson didn't violate any NCAA rules, dumbasses.  He broke curfew and sexed a girl up.  His punishment, or lack thereof, was entirely at the discretion of the head coach.

Not at all, I just think Snyder has more clout within the Athletic Department.  I don't think Currie is capable of bullying around Snyder like it seems he did with Frank.

Do you disagree?

They were before he got there and he didn't hire the coach with the "issues?"
