And they've done it without any $

I wasn't talking about on-field performance. Was talking about money in the program. KSU has had a nice resurgence in Round 2 of Bill Snyder, though he has benefited a bit from Texas and Oklahoma falling off from where they were even 5 years ago.
Over the last decade, Kansas State is 68-54 (.557). Missouri is 85-45 (.654). That's a pretty sizeable gap, though Kansas State does have a conference title in there, Missouri has had 3 teams that could have won the same title if plopped into the Big 12 in 2012 (2007, 2010 and 2013).
Cut it to 5 years, and it gets pretty even. 42-21 for KSU and 43-22 for Missouri.
It's going to be interesting to see who does a better job replacing their coach. Both are going to retire in the next 5 years, in all likelihood. KSU failed disastrously in its attempt to replace Snyder and has been one of the worst major programs in America without him. Missouri has a mixed bag pre-Pinkel. There are a few very successful coaches, a few moderately successful, and a handful of disastrously ineffective coaches (Windehofer, Stull).
Both schools should be in better shape to hire the next coach, though, due to facility improvements, improved brand perception and more cash.
