Regarding Tomlin, I put it on lax rules from the coach. You go to a bar, 3 game suspension. Go to a bar and get into a fight, you're gone. I despise NIL. People like to talk like the players weren't getting paid. Really? Add up the cost of tuition, books, dorm room and a great training table to eat at and tell me again they're not getting paid. NIL just furthers one of many things going wrong in this country. Loyalty to others? Riffle. It's loyalty to self. Me. Me. Me.
If I recall correctly, K State actually led that game in the 4th quarter and lost by 7 in the end. That's hardly getting "waxed". But I get your point, K State played really poorly in that game. It was clear that a few players (who subsequently entered the portal) were mailing it in (and on at least one play, actually helped Iowa State score a TD). In any case, I'm not sure how that applies to anything said in the interview or to K State's outlook for next year.
funny thing that, being a relatively inconsequential game. Cats finish season winning one of the highest-rated games, beating a ranked team, and ranked 18th in the final poll. Oh, and they kept NC State from winning their 10th game (sound familiar?), something the Wolfpack has only done once. Meanwhile 5 big 12 teams in the top 25 and Iowa State wasn't one of them. Texas barely beat the Cats at home, due to a missed XP, and OU didn't have to play the Cats at all.
Great interview with John. Every Man A Wildcat!
Always great to hear John. Many thanks.
Not sure how I feel about the NIL? Seems to me it's taken away from college athletics. Money driven.
Go cats
Can't believe anyone would subsidize millionaire players and billionaire owners
That's the way it works in all the pro team cities. They bring in so much money to the surrounding areas they are always offered those deals.

Who can ever forget K-State getting waxed in the snow by Iowa State? Or is K-State now forgettable?

Had quite a few players already checked out before the game.
