I think I learned of the fabled plant in KSU 1101. Needless to say, when I took the class it was such a joke I decided to write and design a two page spread in the Sentinel with every thing I learned in that class and it was a freakin comedy. Unfortunately, it's not coming up in the archives though.
Past threads and my thoughts at those times:

4-13-07 "Knowing this school, State will have football before we do. They're so confined to think inside the box it's not even funny. If the ath dept is like their marketing dept, I have no idea how they get anything done. Well I do know, they put a ton of weight on their coaches to make things happen. Ingle does a ton of work most coaches at other schools don't have to do. Same with Rob King (wsoccer) and Whitlock for softball.
#The structure of the department hasn't grown with the same rate as the school.
#Everyone would like to say we're going to jump the A-Sun ship for greener pastures but I see that as unlikely.
#Papp is probably the main pusher of football and the person to get it done if it is going to happen. That's a lot of work for a president dealing with graduation rates and faculty/student ratios (not to mention budgeting and behind the scenes). He's still green as Kennesaw's president so we don't have much more to go on other than he's probably the guy that will make or break a football team at KSU"

7-9-06 "Trying to get an answer out of the AD [about football] is impossible. The newspaper has asked every year ever since I've been in school and the answer is always a canned "Ten years." Ten years since 4 years ago or ten years from now... they don't respond at all and don't create any hype whatsoever.
#Joining this conference is the nail into the board that we won't be considering football for a long time. Definately not during our probationary period (3 more years) and most likely not anytime soon afterwards."
