I think he left for the half a million dollar pay raise

Kirk didn't GAF about fans yesterday, and he certainly doesn't today.

Are we supposed to feel a sense of pride that this guy left K-State for Washington State because he was sick of sports fans?

I mean, that didn't happen, so...

Actually, he seemed to take great joy in trolling our disgruntled fans. I think if anything, that would have been at least a small pull to stay at K-State.

Jesus, I didn't know that. Where are the contract terms? Half a mil seems like a ridiculously higher salary for what is a peer institution.

Just a reminder for a lot of dumbasses in this thread claiming this was a "lateral" move or that the financial situation in ks is fine. With the obvious qualifier that this salary is obscene, it bears mentioning.

i know it doesn't mean he got a half million dollar raise, but I think it was the money.

K-State still retains the title belt for Stepping Stone U.

Washington State seems similar in Tuition rates as well. Their recent drop in Tuition would seem to be putting them almost as inexpensive as us.

I'm not thrilled to have K-State lose a public offical to Washington State, such a lateral move makes us look small timey. However, i didn't realize we operate so far under market in terms of compensation, so if the shoe fits, i suppose...

Kirk won't get paid that much, but it will be a significant pay raise. Also, state funding.

wetwillie · « **Reply #35 on:** March 25, 2016, 08:55:35 PM »

I'm guessing Kirk is as glad to be getting rid of us as we are getting rid of him.

The Big Train · « **Reply #36 on:** March 25, 2016, 08:56:54 PM »

Of the big 3, Kirk was the lowest on my immediate fire list

wetwillie · « **Reply #37 on:** March 25, 2016, 08:58:30 PM »

The other 2 are inevitable now, congrats TBT

Agreed with others that this feels less about Twitter and more about Topeka.

wetwillie · « **Reply #41 on:** March 25, 2016, 09:57:11 PM »

100% Topeka 0% Twitter.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #42 on:** March 25, 2016, 10:06:09 PM »

It's amazing how far out of the loop I am with some of this State of Kansas stuff living just a couple of hours away. The difference in those salaries is abhorrent.

I think it's a number higher than 0% only b/c the guy who knew all this was happening 2 weeks ago said it was.

I'm sure he applied for that job months ago. Maybe it helped push him in that direction, but he was obviously looking before twitter happened.

No, I don't. But I have to figure a search for a university president isn't conducted over a 2 week time span. But, their past president died back in June of 2015, so maybe he called them up a few weeks ago and things got rolling.

Trim · « **Reply #47 on:** March 25, 2016, 11:14:31 PM »

Twitter didn't happen 2 weeks ago either.

The Big Train · « **Reply #48 on:** March 25, 2016, 11:23:44 PM »

I mean congrats Trim. Is that what you want?

Let everyone know a few more times you didn't like him
