This what I love about your typical tuck. Many of them act like Snyder has been toiling away at K-State on a volunteer basis. Nope, LHC Bill Snyder has been paid millions upon millions of dollars by K-State, including $2.75 million dollars this year. He was given and pretty much still has total control of the football program. Under the old regime LHC Bill Snyder was even allowed to use K-State athletics and his LLC in its very own little taxation avoidance scheme . . . and LHC Bill Snyder's BFF's were allowed to plow hundreds of thousands of dollars into their pockets via questionable "consulting" billings and high flying lifestyles using the K-State jet (Currie actually inherited a 6 figure unpaid bill to K-State aviation), and multiple $1000 dollar bottles of wine dinners etc. etc. etc.
Snyder's unbending, unyielding ways have made it to where K-State Athletics will now have to spend 10's of millions of dollars more in facilities upgrades to get Vanier 2.0 set up to be the facility it should have always been, but wasn't allowed to be because Snyder couldn't be bothered with anything more than the slightest inconveniences.
K-State has met Snyder's demands to essentially give Sean Snyder well into the 6 figure employment for life.
Sure, there's plenty to appreciate about Snyder, but quit buying the Grandpa act, and realize that K-State has made LHC Bill Snyder a multi-millionaire many times over, and has given him a lot of power and looked past multiple glaring strategic mistakes both on the field and off.
