Maybe KSU now has the right kind of lawyers and this sean episode will cause one to look at that contract advise KSU how to save $250K/year.

I am not sure why lightpole would do this but if he wanted to make certain the Meadowlark is whispering in Kleiman's ear that he had damn well better deliver more unholy ass whippings to ku, mission accomplished

I don't care one bit about it. It's a semi-weird move by both ku and Sean but w/e

I kind of care because we get to fire Bill from being an ambassador now, right?

He’s not an ambassador, it’s part of his severance.  When you fire a guy with his name on the stadium I don’t really think he or his family owe you anything anymore.

He’s ummm, uh, literally in the K-Sports directory as an ambassador?

I think the point is that he's not actually expected or encouraged to do much of anything in that role. It's kind of like "promoting" some guy everyone hates but can't fire to some made up regional position that is really just doing busy work from home.

Gene is still his boss and Gene determines what work Bill does. He is “employed” by K-Sports and that employment can be terminated.

It’s not just a $250k per year handout.

Sorry to interrupt this wonderful BS session, but I got some sad news to share will you fine folks.  CHRIS PETRY, the Gold & Blue Dude passed away this morning.  I enjoyed his numerous podcasts on Youtube.  His podcasts were collections of wild bullshit, but still enjoyable from an entertainment perspective.  I had no idea he was in so much pain, as he never showed it or talked about it.  RIP, Chris.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

Hopefully Gene is sending the K-State Athletics Incorporated IT department over to Bill's house to get him set up and show him out to WFH as the locks/access codes to the VFFC are changed.

I would be pretty surprised if Bill had access to anything of any value anymore.

from an intellectual property standpoint i'm sure that's true. But if he feels so inclined i'm quite sure he can walk right into the Taco Bell at the student union, order every single item on the menu and they'll still be like "sir your money is no good here"

Did Bill go blind?  I hope not.

No windows in the VFFC?

I'm sure it's something hot dog related, but has dax ever disclosed why he hates Snyder so much?

Ain't no way that's accurate. KU football with more fans than Mississippi State and Iowa, 3x as many as Washington State?  Literally no chance.

Where does "claimed fans" come from. How many home games from 21 to 22? Seems rife with misleading statistics! I call shenanigans.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

Maybe it's data that Amazon or Google or Netscape has been gathering from our browser history  :ohno:
