Kstate athletics is out performing ku's. I don't think there is a ton of dispute there.
Athletics: Titletown. Good at all three men's sports, including national title contender in most important sport in college athletics.
Academics: More Kansas high school seniors choose K-State than any other university in the state. Among Kansas public universities, K-State has the highest percentage of freshmen who return their sophomore year. Highest main-campus enrollment in state. Record Spring enrollment, continuing trend of growth. NBAF arriving to make K-State #1 agriculture university in the country.
City: MHK is fastest growing metro area in the state. Riley is in top-20 counties in the nation for economic growth, the only one in Kansas. One of top 15 fastest growing cities in America.
Good time to be a Wildcat. KU has good stuff too, keep your head up.
Hilarious. You cite a bunch of K-State propaganda that always comes with a qualifier next to it. Example: "Highest main-campus enrollment in the state."
Meanwhile, at the Mecca...
Athletics: Ten straight Big 12 titles. This single-handedly eclipses anything K-State has accomplished in the history of its athletic department. K-State's last Final Four appearance was 1964... KU's: 2012. K-State's last national title in a team sport - never.... KU's: 2013.
Academics: Highest ranked university in the state. Largest university in the state. Highest academic standards in the state. More professors and faculty members than any university in the state. More grad and undergrad programs than any other university in the state. Raised over a billion dollars for the Far Above campaign since '08.
City: Lawrence is twice the size of Manhattan and has everything Manhattan wishes it had: diversity, culture, art, music, tradition, Mass Street, etc, etc. New buildings and lofts are going up all over the city. A study from lumosity showed that Lawrence has the highest collective IQ of any city in the state of Kansas. It is the home of Naismith, Hughes, and the wang burger.
Enough said.
