For some perspective - I have a good friend who's in the administration of a p5 school on the east coast (one with a larger budget than K-State, though not by a huge amount). Due to the pandemic, anyone over $200k got a 20% pay cut, anyone over $100k got a 10% pay cut and anyone under $100k got 15-20 days of furlough during the year. The cuts would have been worse, but they're fortunate to not have as much gameday staff because they play in a municipally-owned b-ball arena. They're in a state where indoor attendance for events is basically zero (they let a handful of super-rich donors in each game). While they believe football revenue will mostly come back in 2021 (attendance $$$, sponsor $$$, etc.), they still believe b-ball revenue will be massively shy of prior years due to lingering issues with the pandemic.I say all of this because it helps explain the nuances of why Weber very likely could be around another year (and that's on top of all the other K-State specific reasons everyone else has already articulated). I'm not saying I like it, but it's a tough sell from a perception standpoint - both internally and externally.

I'm gonna guess nc state!
if weber promised to grow out a goatee or even just a soul patch would everyone agree to give him one more year?
in the end, EMAW will always win.
FANw throws amazing shade. I feel like she says some of the things that FAN is too nice to tweet
We're going to lose @_33 to Weber, like we lost @Chuckles to Trump.

He posted the results on KSO, I won’t be sharing them.
