I agree that media covering college sports should generally be positive toward players and direct most negativity toward coaches.  That being said, I don't think the media covering K-State sports has a negativity problem.

Kstatesports should hire that Bills photojournalist to be a KSU fan.

I was waiting for one of the writers there to apologize with that silence.

I’d love to see someone produce a single piece of negative media from those that cover kstate during the Klieman era

I think the writers should all get together and send him a giant, industrial-size tub of cottage cheese, complete with a bow and an "I'm sorry" card.

i don't really think the comment was as bad as smellis' tweet implied.  it's not great, but it's also not that bad.

Yeah, this is a big yikes from me. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to add a huge buyout to a former D2 coach that thinks the Manhattan KS media is a bunch of meanies.  :dunno:

I don't see anything wrong with this but was this in response to a question?

Yeah - question was basically: given how much you talked about how close the team was over the offseason, how are they reacting to the adversity they're facing?

He can say whatever he wants.  But the tiny Kstate media coverage relative to blue bloods is softball city.

K-State is probably in the bottom 5-10 of all power 5 teams in terms of difficulty in navigating the media landscape.

There's also a big difference in Klieman saying that players dealing with negativity in the media, social media, etc. is tough for a college student athlete to handle (very true) and outright asking members of the media to help by not being negative.

I'm torn because I don't think Klieman is doing well so I'd love to crush him for this, but I also hate how sports media victimizes themselves every time they believe someone has questioned their integrity and want them to shut up.

meh. I feel like he's trying to send a message to his team through the media and it got away from him a little bit. Wasn't great but who cares. It's not like he made a murder joke on national television after killing two people.

I peaked at KSO and loved the meltdown. some of those folks need to get a grip, but I enjoyed the entertainment.

Not perfect, but not earth shaking.  CK is just not ready for this.  When was the last time in his career he went through such a savage and prolonged ass kicking?

Why should we excuse Klieman's recruiting again?
