K-State begs out of Fresno State game?!?
I know MU has done this (although for much less money) and it's been a mistake, IMO. But paying that much money to avoid Fresno State?!? Good Lord.
From Rivals: Kansas State paid a quarter-million dollars to avoid a game against Fresno State. That's a Big 12 team paying $250,000 to cancel a home game against a WAC team. Of course, said WAC team whacked K-State 45-29 last year. In need of a replacement opponent, K-State offered $350,000 to Montana State, a Division I-AA program that went 6-5 in 2007. Meanwhile, Fresno State raised its level of competition by replacing Kansas State on its schedule with Rutgers. |

I think it's pretty obvious what's going on. Fresno has had our number both times, and has absolutely kicked our asses. There's no upside to the Fresno game, as we need wins in 08. It sucks, but it is what it is.

So if the NFL allowed this kind of scheduling, would Carl think he is Kansas State (needing to buy a softer schedule to win some games) or Montana State (make some money even though my team is crappy)?

So, a 65-0 whoopin on a formally I-AA (now FCS) team is now $600,000.

I guess Prince got a closer look at his KSCC roster full of JUCO's and decided discretion was the better part of valor.

at a Kansas fan bragging about a non-con game. Even one difficult opponent this year doesn't make up for your joke of a non-con schedule last year with zero away games.

It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and erase all doubt.
Or some shit like that.
