Easy there killer. I think you're confusing two completely different things. On 1 hand you're questioning academics and on the other you're talking up revenue generating sports.

It's great that you're passionate enough to "want" big time sports @ KSU, but the reality is we aren't even mid-major in terms of relevance. I understand plenty about college sports, the way an athletic department runs, and keys to success. Saying that, that is not what we were talking about. We were talking about academic difficiencies and your demand for the academic staff to be fired. I was simply pointing out the facts of their situation.



As for K'saw Basketball: I absolutely agree with your post.

No YOU are the one confusing this.

Your trying to bring the other 15 sports to even with basketball. What i am saying is let basketball alone and get them the support that is required for basketball. Not what you do for everyone else!

Basketball and Football are not everyone else!

To be truthful, they need to get basketball the money and support before they of adding football.

Can you imagine Benton and his crew with a football program. HAHA!

@ K'saw Owls says: "Your trying to bring the other 15 sports to even with basketball." ---- That's not even close to what I'm saying.

"What i am saying is let basketball alone and get them the support that is required for basketball. Not what you do for everyone else!" ----- this much we can agree on and it works that way for every sport.

"To be truthful, they need to get basketball the money and support before they of adding football." ---- I've been saying this for a very long time. Football will be the demise of a successful athletic program. It requires far too much money to start, and yearly, to prove profitable. Saying that, it can be done, but I'm not sure of the actual timetable until they admin expects it to be supporting itself.

When grading out a position on a staff and that position is successful 15 of 16 times, objectively a change won't be made. Regardless of whether someone feels like the 1 unsuccessful time is more important. Realistically, it just doesn't work that way. That is what I'm saying.

I'm not arguing right or wrong with you, I'm just pointing out the objectivity of it.

Hooter man, you are a Benedict Arnold.

How have you been saying they need to give baskteball money "for a long time?" You have been on this board since May. Late May I might point out. You came on right as I called out Benton and his crew. Funny now that I think of it, why you chose then to come on board?

The only thing you ever post here is slamming Ingle, blaming players, and defending Benton.

Not sure what you do for a living, but hope its in politics. Because you contradict yourself more with every post.

@ K'saw Owls:

Ignorance must be bliss for you. Benedict Arnold and contradiction have nothing to do with each other.

1. I don't know how you can gather that I'm defending someone that I question the relevance of his job?
2. It is absolutely the players' fault if they can't make a "C."
3. If questioning a coach that hasn't won in 7 years and left the program a mess is slamming a coach, then yes indeed I slammed him.

Even when I agree with some of what you're saying, you don't realize it.

My decision to come on board, as you call it, had more to do with KSU hiring a new coach and me looking online for information on him. Nothing more, nothing less.
