Hell yes, Snyder would rather be working for the previous regime, because the previous regime treated K-State athletics like their own personal bank. No doubt Snyder's accountant is having to get a lot more creative with those standard paychecks coming to Bill through the comptrollers office in Anderson Hall . . . and not lump sum payments timed to lesson the tax burden coming from athletic department accounts issued by the previous "yes man" athletic department financial guy. Issued out of accounts set aside for "emergency" travel, like (for example) when K-State teams make the post season etc. etc. The same athletic department that was paying a senior administrator at K-State "consulting fees", the same athletic department that was processing expense reports from a university president that contained $1000 bottles of wine etc. etc.
Absolutely none of that would have bothered me, if the athletic director wasn't saying stuff like, "we just don't have the money to do that" . . . while he's paying himself hundreds of thousands of dollars in "consulting fees" on top of his regular salary.
The only person I give a pass on that, is my man Bob "EMAW" Krause, whose name appears on nearly every single donation list of significance that K-State has had over the last few years.
