The K-State Collegian, celebrating its 130th year in 2026, earned a 2nd Place finish in the College Media Association Organizational Pinnacle awards in Washington D.C.
Second in the nation.
It’s the highest mark The K-State Collegian newspaper has earned in the last decade.

After reading through the 33-page term sheet for the Chiefs' new stadium in Kansas, I think it's one of the most lopsided stadium deals in NFL history.
Kansas is essentially giving the Chiefs $3 billion (stadium funding + mixed-use development funding + tax incentives), yet getting virtually nothing in return.
The Chiefs get to keep 100% of the revenue from all stadium activities, including ticket sales, concessions, sponsorships, naming rights deals, personal seat licenses, and more. That applies to NFL games and all other events (concerts, basketball games, etc.).
Kansas will own the stadium, with the Chiefs paying $7 million in rent annually. But that money doesn't go back to the state; it goes into an account the Chiefs can use for renovations, repairs, and operational expenses.
That means the Chiefs can use their own rent money to hire stadium security, parking staff, and concession vendors throughout the season.
I know Kansas had to offer a great deal to get the Chiefs to leave Arrowhead, but this is worse than I expected.
Here's a full breakdown of everything I found in the term sheet: https://t.co/vtJ6S8DwOx
For a half-century, the Chiefs have transcended what separates us. On Monday, they drew the line themselves.
Because the money always wins. And so do those already flush with it.

Our beloved @Chiefs are coming to Kansas!
A new state-of-the-art domed stadium, to kick off the 2031 season.
This is a total game-changer for Kansas.
We’re making Kansas the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

The Mercury has learned that Collin Klein will be introduced as the new K-State football coach Friday, and the plan is to have him appear Saturday afternoon at the men’s basketball game at Bramlage Coliseum.

Gene Taylor says the state of college sports is a big reason for Klieman stepping away. Says if the industry doesn't get fixed, more good people like Klieman will keep getting pushed away.
Sources have told The Mercury that Chris Klieman’s retirement is set to be announced sometime this week. Collin Klein has been lined up to replace him.

In 2015, the NCAA quietly made a tiny tweak to a 100-year old rule.
Nobody noticed — except Kansas State, who designed a play that led to touchdowns every time.
10 years later, I'm tracking down the real inventors of the Tush Push before it gets banned:

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
I would’ve never gotten the opportunity to be at Kansas State if the 105 rule was in place. I feel for the guys who will be cut & the recruits who won’t have the opportunity to walk on anymore
