Or maybe certain donors will contribute more after seeing how the Athletic Department responded to the situation, as well as seeing how the team came together as one in support of each other.  Maybe some major donors aren’t racists.  Just a thought.
currently speaking with KSU people about making donations specifically to the diversity fund. if nothing else maybe if we can attract a broader student profile in the future then the racists will go somewhere else.

Also voter empowerment is awesome. I think this election year will be different thanks to voter empowerment by schools and communities with big schools like manhattan in them.6

yeah lost in this discussion was the coaches helping players register to vote and connecting them with resources to research candidates. They seem like great people.

I was very impressed by that part too!   :ksu:

Victor and Terry just look like wonderful people that would invite you to dinner to have the heirloom chicken and dumpling recipe and sun brewed ice tea.

That guy on YouTube looks like he just discovered meth.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

Sent in an email out to students and faculty this morning.
Then shared on social media.

Certainly a step in the right direction.

There is going to be a really embarrassing amount of booing isn't there?
Yes, unfortunately. K-State Sports will be the next athletic department to probably have to make some stupid confederate flag rule or something.

You guys are far too unnecessarily pessimistic about the nature of people. No one will be booing anything, most people don't think negatively about black lives matter, they are just too comfortable to do anything to help solve these problems.

Come on.

Pretty damn naive to think that some amount of donors and alum won't adjust their donations (and attendance) negatively if many of the suggestions in this thread get through as practice.

Interesting that you assume everyone thinks like you do. Are you accounting for donors gained or people who will give more?

Oh i think you might be surprised. there are a LOT of normal acting people who think black lives matter is a cover for a terrorist organization and is trying to overthrow the government and erase American history forever and adopt every far left liberal extremest idea ever conceived as well as taking down the african american community as a whole. These are college graduates. these are hard working people. these are church going people. Depending on how KSU chooses to promote BLM at games i can almost promise you they will boo depending on how it is fed to them. But i am hoping they will feel just enough uncomfortable in front of so many others that they might stay quiet and bitch on their way home

We should take this opportunity to disassociate them like Dax got disassociated that one time. (but unlike Dax's this one isn't complete bullshit)

For who?

I haven't seen the school do anything for Asian, Hispanic, Indian or middle eastern students. Really students at all, just bending over backwards for athletes who make a scene.
