I think Patterson won't go to a public college because at TCU he can recruit kids who are athletes regardless of their academic standing. I think he has that edge where UT, A&M, and Tech all have stiff entry requirements, and he can snag strong athletes who can't meet the academic minimums at the other publics. Maybe I am talking out my ass, but that's where I think he draws his successful players. I will happily be disproven, and eat my crow, as i havent done any research to back this. Purely heresay.
Now, as far as K-State goes, I think it is pretty clear cut what will happen within two years' time: Venerables will leave OU for a fat contract at K-State. I mean; I believe it with every bone in my body. I could also go into my "Okay, Gang" sources, but I will at least wait until Snyder re-retires before I hash that all up.
