You better have some rough ridin' answers, Currie.

[catsdo]

Go eff yourself, Mr. Currie.

[wabash909]

The sad thing is that Currie has the tucks convinced that a violation was actually committed here, when it appears a rule very well might not have even been broken.

Lack of Institutional control.  Doing things the right way?  I mean, how do you even start to combat this level of stupidity?

Institutional control/Manhattan, KS

Let me start by saying I am proud of what the coaches and players accomplished this year, despite the disapointing ending. I will also say I am proud of the city where I was born and the University I support for taking swift action upon learning about this situation. I just think doing things the "right way is the only way". Consider if heads were turned, we upset Syracuse, and went on to win a National Championship, only to have "lack of institutional control" stamped on us when the dust settles. Yes, it may not bother the school to the east of us, but I for one am proud of our AD and school today, even though for our fan base I'm disappointed. I was just brought up that way. EMAW

Even if a rule had been broken, it was so small and meaningless that I would not have given a crap whatsoever.

[Scary Smart]

I'd really like to hear CaptainCrap's thoughts on this situation.

[p1k3]

There arent very many people that im ashamed to have associated with K-State, but Currie just about penciled himself in with Krause and BTK.

[bigDcat]

@SethDavisHoops: K State should have let him play and if they had to vacate the game, so be it. I'd rather have the memory than the $$. Not that much anyway.

I think it is asking a great deal for him to comment positively or negatively about the compliance department and the CEO of the Athletic Department, especially relating to a student-athlete.

[wabash909]

Just another glorious chapter in K-State incompetence when it comes to operating a multimillion dollar institution.

This is what we do.

This Jamar Samuels story makes me sick. THAT was the reason the kid missed his last game? Please somebody fix this once and for all!!

The incompetence.  My God.

Yeah I know and I didn't actually expect him to comment on it for this very reason, it would just be interesting if he could.

[michigancat]

Why does everyone think this would look good on Currie's resume?

THIS IS WHAT JOHN CURRIE DECIDED.

[EMAWmeister]

Hell, if he would just come out and say something, ANYTHING, I'd be okay with it.  Might not agree with it, but I'd be okay. 

You made a decision, John.  Now own it, and don't let someone who has given this much to the program get thrown under the bus like this.

[Pete]

Why does everyone think this would look good on Currie's resume?

I think that John Currie thinks that.

Why? Who would be impressed by nitpicking the rules and running off the best employee you have?

[p1k3]

He wants to polish up on his way to a BIG TIME sec job or something.

[SkinnyBenny]

Because the university presidents who do the hiring want someone who can demonstrate that they are squeaky-clean and follow everything to the letter of the law, I'd guess?

[sys]

if this comes off as a defense of currie, so be it, although that is not my intention.


1)  i'm sure the decision to sit samuels was not reached without some informal consultation with the ncaa.
2)  the worst case, not just for kstate, but for everyone, would have been samuels plays, kstate wins, samuels investigation finished in the ensuing 4 days with a determination that he should have been ineligible.  at that point, what happens?  i have can't imagine, because i've never heard of such a case.  syracuse plays?  wisconsin just advances without a game?  some alternate universe penalty imposed on kstate in lieu of their win being vacated?  i can't imagine that the ncaa would risk that sort of pr nightmare just to be fair to samuels.

[Pete]

I think that John Currie thinks that.

Why?

I think he runs a "large tent."  I believe that he believed that most of his constituency would be behind him, AND that he'd show prospective employers that he improved the facilities and donations at KSU whilst staying compliant...and a compliance "event" is just icing on the cake.

[Trim]

I don't like Currie.

show experience?
Resume:
-pressbox
-training facility
-dealt with and controlled crooked coaches who had been hired by the previous AD regime

or to get Frank to leave so he can show he can actually make a good hire.

[p1k3]

Maybe he just did it so he can talk about it in a job interview:

Alabama U President: So what would you do if a caught wind that a player may have received impropper benefits?

Currie: Well, this one time......





that greedy ass rough rider.

[SkinnyBenny]

The Alabama president would show him the rough ridin' door right then and there.

That's why they have 12 National Championships.
