Well you know summer is almost over when KSU is picked last in the East. I really hope Joel can somehow start to prioritize basketball. This program needs to drop a level or be let go completely. Worst program in the history of KSU both athletically and academically.

And what's worse is that when they do get good, they can't sustain it. They almost won the MAC in 2012, then haven't come close to a winning season since. They were good in 1986 and 1987, then two years later went 0-11. They were 6-5 in 2001, the dropped to 3-9 the next year. The last time they had any sustained success at all was the 1972 through 1977 seasons - 40 years ago! The college football landscape is such that there is no good reason for MOST FBS programs to continue spending the money. There has to be some NCAA changes to allow schools such as Kent State and plenty of others to move in some other direction, and I don't mean FCS.
