I like chum's idea of a mid major DOD

It's not doable.  You have to be in a major metro to have a Mid Major DOD.  No exceptions.

If we go to mid major, you won't see another sell out in football, and quickly you'll see a drastic drop off in attendance. That, added with less than half the previous TV revenue will lead to even shittier facilities and recruiting.  Soon, we'll be worse than our mid-major brethren.  It's just math and stuff.
I agree with this 100 percent.

But it's just sports so whatever.  I'll find something else.

I'm just hopeful we stick it out long enough to get all of the exit fees that will be coming our way as the conference implodes.

So, like what do you plan on doing with your share?

Bill's golden parachute, Sean's $2.5MM HC salary, Bronze statue of Wiefald, $10MM for the 5 year guaranteed extension that Bill is going to get after this year that rolls into a same-pay AD job after ADJC leaves, Whitney's $600,000 Associate AD job....

no, it'll be a DOD.  It'll be great.  have faith bro.


Look, I'm a minion, so this is sort of hard for me to do...but you are full of crap.

Currently, ALL of our decent recruits are merely guys that decide to come to KSU because we are a Big 12 school versus their other mid-major offers.  What the eff do you think happens when we can't even play THAT card? :dunno:

this.  we act like we're better than colorado state, but in actuality, we've just been blessed/fortunate to be in a "big" conference.  there's really no reason a state like kansas should have two bcs schools, especially considering we offer nothing but a Vet school and some meat goats.  if rising tides raise all boats, then lower tides have to lower them and stuff.

That article basically says, "We better get three decent teams, or we're going to be the ones that really start Armageddon."

that's how I took it...although Boren's comments were just all over the f*cking place.  I would assume his comments mean that (unofficial) offer-ish type things have been made to pitt, ul, wvu and now they are waiting...dunno...I would also assume/hope that Delaney is actually rooting for this so it puts Notre Dame in a corner...hopefully Steve Pederson is still a complete f*cking dumbass and wants to come and convinces wvu to come along...UL seems like it's the one that would take the offer.

I'm amazed that the leaders of all of these academic institutions are actually some of the biggest rough ridin' dumbasses when it comes to speaking in public.

No wonder it's hard to hire a college grad worth a crap.  These are the people leading them.

we didn't even have great recruits in our b12 dod, you dumbasses.  inferring that a player was a good recruit because he's a good player is one of snyder's biggest myths.  to have a mid major dod, you just have to try harder.  most of those schools just don't really care that much.

being in a mid major is like a NIT game that never ends.  games in a mid major will be meaningless.  absolutely meaningless.  i mean, sitting down at 10pm central to watch a San Diego State vs. Kansas State game is beyond disheartening.  i won't do it.

Also, we won't have to worry about finding a good coach once we are mid major.  We can just accept Sean and go on with our day.  It's not going to be that bad.

we will win, like, 8 games minimum.  think about all the losses where it ruined your entire weekend!  even when we lose you won't even GAF!

I always dreamed of taking my son to his first KSU game and really introducing him to what I hoped would become a real tradition.

Well, I guess we'll just do Washburn.  It's half the drive and a hell of a lot cheaper.  It's all the same if you aren't in a real conference.

it's fun to melt down like a vergina but I will honestly be excited as hell to start a new confy schedule.  will definitely attend more games the first couple years.
