Fire John Currie

[Ptolemy]

the a.d.'s job is more than winning games, as people at unc, louisville, baylor and other places are finding out.
Thanks for noting something NOBODY ELSE KNEW!

the a.d. is responsible for compliance, facilities, academics, financials as well as winning.  what john has done in each of those areas is pretty remarkable. 
Remarkable in that he has embarrassed the university on a national scale with the Leticia Romero incident, Jayhawk-Starship Enterprise, EMAW, Ecocat, Sandstorm, Sportmanship Pledges, and in just looking like an awkward Neidermeyer. 
 
and directly to your point, i'd suggest that ending the ncaa nightmare and unacceptable image that k-state faced with frank martin is far more important than a couple years of under-performing hoops, particularly when his replacement hung a banner not seen here since the 80's.  and furthermore, i'd expect this to be a most succesful hoops' program this coming season. South Carolina is obviously suffering greatly from the "unacceptable image...of Frank Martin!"

So Schultz gives his fellow deuschbag an extension on his way out?  This guys sure know how to take care of each other.  Schultz shouldn't be making these decisions on his way out; the paper said Myers "supported" the decision; if so, then f him too.  Extremely unprofessional on Schultz's part, but I'm not surprised.

Please Currie just go away.  I don't want Snyder to have to coach until he is 85, and ruin his legacy, just to save the program from you.

It's 1.5 million....Snyder might write that check himself.

snyder wouldn't write a check for his own groceries.  but he'll find another way.  that old man is a winner.

Face it. If Snyder said he wanted JC gone, donors would contribute $20MM to make it happen. 

[The Big Train]

I mean I can fire a new site up if we need it(see what I did there )

I'm trying to put the full JOHN CURRIE CONTRACT chronology here so that when I want to look at them I can search that instead of having to bounce around the janky kstatesports site and various newspapers.

The idea of a contract extension was first mentioned by outgoing university president Kirk Schulz, Currie said. He initiated talks last week after discussing the idea with the Kansas Board of Regents.

Wonder if he rolled a big fattie with Randolph after signing this 

Nope, attempted high-five w/Schulz but missed. 

The pit'rs who argue that Obama shouldn't get to appoint Scalia's replacement should cite this whole Schulz/Currie deal in their arguments.

[Ptolemy]

I guarandamntee you that when Weber fumbles this team into the lower third of the conference and misses the NCAA tournament again next year, Weber and Currie are going to blame the growing grumbling and lack of fan support for the team's shortcomings. He might as well just say it now as a precursor to the season - just to cover all his bases.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Look at that, our very own A Beautiful Mind. What a tool/weirdo.

Why the hate bro?

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Not directed at you P, you're not the one with the push pin and yarn board connexting the dots in this alleged conspiracy.

[Ptolemy]

Thx for the clarification.

I officially dumped the season tix tonight. Was holding out slim hope that Schultz leaving for a realm more accepting of EcoCat would precipitate real change. Got to vote with my feet.

[eastcat]

Really dislike Schultz for screwing us over with a longer John contract.

[wetwillie]

The BOR signed off on it, this wasn't a last minute stay of execution that no one was able to stop.

[Winters]

We should get a new BOR

[sonofdaxjones]

I don't think the BOR has to officially sign off on contract extensions for athletic department personnel 

[CNS]

Can you even imagine who Brownback would position on a new BOR?  Probably better off to keep this one for a little while.

I thought Brownback appointed all of them.
