That which nobody wants to talk about…
Summary
OL/LB: Depending on what service you choose to believe, Kstate is paying its players roughly $10,000,000 more than Cincy is paying theirs.
Depending on what service you choose to believe, Kstate is paying its players roughly $10,000,000 more than Cincy is paying theirs. And ours got whipped. If there was legitimate pay for play, very few of our players earn d their check last night.
While I don’t know the numbers on coaching staff, I’m willing to bet that our new staff has a higher dollar value and budget than Cincy as well. So that a DC from a military academy can stifle the Kstate offense two years in a row.
This is a game that by modern metrics Kstate has to win, modern metrics being your budget. I know dollars spent doesn’t translate to wins and anything can happen on any given day, but doing less with more is not the Kstate way. Nobody will mistake Nippert as one of the most intimidating places to play in the Big 12, and every part of our program seemed to wilt in the moment. Avery running backwards again, Oline playing patty cake instead of pancake, and the defense - WTF. Peterson looks like a younger, louder version of Klanderman. Except there was constant bending and breaking.
Lots of football left to play, and I still have faith I. Klien at al, this was just a failed test. But I think we can out away any aspirations of Arlington.
