This seems largely irrelevant to me. Yes, the $3m to Bill is absolutely a buyoff for being “retired.” It’s also absolutely true he deserves it....and some boosters made sure that outlay wouldn’t really hurt.
Regardless, if you pay CK “only” $1.5m, he’s constantly getting asked about it for the next 6 months, and K-State gets the reputation for being cheap going into searching for staff interviews and replacing folks down the road.
