Not only are K-State officials locked in a legal battle with their former football coach over a multimillion-dollar deal allegedly brokered in secret by former athletic director Bob Krause, but future football schedules negotiated under Prince's watch also could prove costly.Prince's bold-and-daring approach to scheduling already has produced notable nonconference opponents such as Auburn, Louisville and UCLA — all of which beat the Wildcats, by the way — and it soon will offer additional brutes such as Miami, Oregon and Virginia Tech unless K-State can wiggle its way out of those games.Many college football pundits suggested K-State was committing scheduling suicide at the time Prince announced those noncon matchups. Now, with the Wildcats set to face the likes of Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State every year under the Big 12's soon-to-be revamped format, such games look even deadlier.Worse yet, K-State has it doubly tough during the nonconference in several years.In 2011, for instance, K-State is scheduled to play Oregon on Sept. 3 in Manhattan before visiting Miami on Sept. 24. The following season, K-State is slated to meet those two powers again during the first eight days of September. And the situation isn't any better in 2014, as a trip to Virginia Tech is set for Sept. 6 and a home date with Auburn is penciled for Sept. 20.Factor in the nine league games that would result from the Big 12's new round-robin schedule, and K-State would play 11 of its 12 games against teams from BCS power conferences each of those seasons.
Thanks for the analysis, "Sugar" "Dick."
