He has been a pleasant surprise all around. I really hope we hold onto him for a long time.

I think he'll both win and leave. Better than losing and staying.

Also I have no idea how Bill would have reacted in this situation, if at all.  If I had to take a guess it would be not favorable.

Can you define "favorable"?

Hopefully he can win in front of an empty BSFS.

Like it or not the program only exists because the fans pay for it. Not because the players play for it.

Most KSU fans do not support BLM or its race-revenge pandering narrative. Telling the average white Kansan they're evil and then asking for a donation won't play out like you think it will.

I'd be thrilled if folks like you never supported the program again. See ya!  :adios:

Favorable may not have been the best word choice, but not favorable in the sense he may have taken no action or statement at all.  This situation may be a bit outside of Bill's comfort zone and I don't think he would have liked the players threatening to boycott the game and team.  CK is in full support of the players and the movement.

Yes fans pay, but man I couldn’t care less if fans like you never paid again.

I don't recall seeing him post in a long time. I don't remember seeing him post anything like that before. Maybe I'm thinking of another more pleasant poster who hasn't posted on gE in a while.

On a serious note, this season would be a great opportunity to end football at the college level.

We know its dangerous. This is a convenient place to stop.

with athletes able to profit off of their likeness I would be ok with a professional only model for sports.  Universities could focus on education and maybe some intramural activities.  Flag football obviously.

These honkeys are so upset about student-athletes actually being treated like humans that they are ready to punt on college sports, literally overnight.

Our point had more to do with professionalism and CTE safety, but if that allows you an opportunity to use racist slang, you do you....

 :ROFL: we aren't as stupid as you are. If that was your reasoning you would have been done with football long ago. You aren't in favor of NIL compensation, you want them to play and to keep them broke, broken, and silent, like in the good ol' days of January 2020'

he only comes and posts when there is an opportunity to be a racist. very strange to choose to do so on gE.

From my perspective, CK seems like a good manager/person.  I'm glad we have him leading the program rn.

And please don't forget to add, "and let MIR continue to be a bigot but everyone will just turn their heads"... 

I'll get prepared to be called a racist but please know I agree with this idiot to be thrown off campus.  Just not sure I've seen something that will work well quite yet or have another idiot cause the same issue in the aftermath. 
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

I assume that’s because most people have not been offended by what MIR has said. Is there something specific you’re thinking of?

I tend to agree as well. The part that scares me in all of this is the idea that the 'state' would expel a young kid (or anyone for that matter) from a public school for something he says on Twitter. Maybe this kid in particular is a dumbass and/or a dirtbag, but the idea that a student at a public university is expelled based on speech is concerning. A lot of dumbasses and dirtbags go to school.. isn't that the purpose? Based on the first amendment related tweets that one of the athletes made after a meeting with KSU administration, it sounds like the administration tends to also agree.

At risk of being labeled a racist, I also cringe when college coaches openly endorse Black Lives Matter. I think very few people know what this actual group stands for or what it's endgame really is. But, questioning the group -- is out of the question -- and is only done by 'racists'.

Would you be okay if he said "Black lives matter" instead of "Black Lives Matter"? I think one can state that black lives matter without hitching one's wagon to all BLM-related activities for the rest of time.
