Siri said they are “efficient” so I think probably no

[🌾🌾Joe🌾🌾 @jdagg2003]

Hey Siri, is Paraguay good at soccer?

[🌾🌾Joe🌾🌾 @jdagg2003]

@WWE should for real take a year off from touring the US, get the fans hungry again. Every show outside the US is electric.

[🌾🌾Joe🌾🌾 @jdagg2003]

Spend that $6 million on Football or Baseball and the ROI is probably 3x that of basketball.

[🌾🌾Joe🌾🌾 @jdagg2003]

Honestly K-State needs to completely defund basketball, there is no reason to expect that Alexander will ever field a top half of the big 12 team, especially with the NIL funding after tang. I would bet that after 3 years he has a lower ceiling, and maybe even a lower floor.

[qǝlɐɔ @EMAWCaleb]

Sorry I’ve been afk/not tweeting about K-State. I know that’s why 5k people follow me. Not much to say about the 26/27 season specifically yet, you know how this time of year is. But I’ve had some stuff on my mind lately and I want to get it off my chest.

By Thanksgiving of ‘25 all I wanted was Collin back and Tang gone. Don’t think I’m reaching to say that was basically all of us that aren’t complete bots. The honeymoon stage felt like Christmas every day.

But ever since that article from Kellis a few weeks back where Gene Taylor said that $19 and $6 million rosters were “competitive”… man it really took some wind out of my sails. I know he said that we have to raise more money in that article too, fair play, but then last week I open twitter and see we spent a fortune on… lights?

Look. We’re no where near the top of this conference financially in either sport. And unless some angel of a man with a K-State degree decides he wants to play CFB dynasty mode like Cody Campbell, we never will be, under Gene Taylor or the next guy.

But that’s not my problem. I accepted where we sit financially years ago.

It’s year 1 with Collin and Casey. You’d think the money situation would get better over time. But you see Gene’s comments on what we spent this year being “competitive” while money goes up in smoke so we can have an Avicii concert during the football game… it just shows we aren’t serious.

Our AD and donors still want to put the toothpaste back in the tube on NIL. A lot of this blame should be on the donors. I know Gene is kind of the online whipping boy right now, but he’s ultimately at their mercy. Gene can’t make them spend money on good football players that they can’t put their name on.

The question I’d like to pose is - why live and die every game day if the athletic department is not financially serious? If we’re flat out saying we’re going to be above the board, we’re not going to cheat, this is enough to be competitive, etc. etc…

Well what’s the point?

K-State won the Big 12 in 2022. They were a top 3 odds team to win the conference the following 3 seasons. Those 3 seasons they went 24-14 with 2 bowl wins and it forced the coach to retire. And now, despite all the turnover, they’re 4th in odds to win it this year. We’re a really good football program that’s highly thought of. We belong at the head table of this conference.

I have no interest in being a beautiful loser. I’m not here for the aw shucks ag school bullshit. Play to win, because we have, and we can again. But we can only do it by getting serious about the realities of winning college football games in the year 2026.

Yes, we have finite resources, I hear ya. So do we want to spend them on light shows over shitty music, or do we want ball players? And we know the lights aren’t the only example, just the latest one. We’re putting some bad teams in great facilities right now.

For the first time, I’m kinda burned out/hopeless tbh. I never wanted to be the guy that throws in the towel on college sports because of the current climate, but that’s because I saw the backing Tang got and thought the top level of the Big 12 was financially possible. I guess that money was conditional on being an idiot? Once again, our donors deserve no quarter. It’s not Gene’s money.

Hopefully Collin does something even more impressive than Bill - make K-State donors financially serious about building winning programs. I won’t hold my breath.

Stop wasting money on basketball

[Kellis Robinett @KellisRobinett]

K-State is expecting a $6 million basketball roster and a $19 million football roster next season.

Gene Taylor is pushing for more NIL money, but he's confident the Wildcats already have the resources to win with new coaches

@AustinPatmon Klein could literally murder Willie at midfield and the fans would still love him.

Alexander has coached in one NCAA tournament game in like 10+ years as a Division one head coach.

[🌾🌾Joe🌾🌾 @jdagg2003]

Lol, it’s even worse than I expected

[Kevin Sweeney @CBB_Central]

BREAKING: Kansas State is expected to hire Belmont HC Casey Alexander, source tells @SINow.

Alexander led Belmont to the MVC reg season title this season. Has won 74% of his games there over seven years and has stacked 10 straight 20-win seasons dating back to Lipscomb.

[🌾🌾Joe🌾🌾 @jdagg2003]

Bro spent 18million of the donors money to fire Tang and come back with the head coach from Belmont.

[🌾🌾Joe🌾🌾 @jdagg2003]

But for real what d1 AD has an easier job than Gene? He hired his bff, and the easiest possible hire with Klein, and after the Tang fiasco he still got to hire the next basketball coach. Crazy
