My guess is the schedule will be incredibly weak, similar to Fred's first year at ISU, or TCU this year. 12-13 wins.
It will be pretty similar to this year. We know we're already playing in the CBE, Colorado State in Wichita, at A&M, at Georgia and a home game in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. All of the "he will schedule easy wins" talking point is not a good one, not to mention we lost one of those games.
the cbe may be hard to get out of. the sec game is impossible. all the others could be bought out/rescheduled if kstate wanted to.
We aren't getting out of the CBE, wouldn't try anyway so it's not worth discussing. The only of those games that would be under any consideration for buyout are the games at Georgia and at A&M, and a fat
at any thought of a high major selling a home game against another high major, a bad one at that, this late in the process. There is no way in hell we'd pay the money that those schools would request. Getting a down name school on your home court is every schedulers dream. Every team with tournament aspirations would have all home games against the K-States, Rutgers, Ole Miss, Wake Forests, and USCs of this world if they could.
