My point is this - the paltry reduction in salaries by the athletic department was terrible form. Did the athletic department suffer huge reductions in revenue? Yes. Did the athletic department cut salaries like the average Joe or small company when faced with a dire reduction in income? NO! They did the minimal amount to say they felt our pain. Of course, the coaches are under contract so salary reductions couldn’t be forced on them. But I expected better.tmcats wrote: ↑March 1st, 2021, 3:27 pmi don't buy for a minute that the average fan suffered more during this pandemic than the athletic department which lost tens of millions in ticket sales. i believe yours is a complete misstatement of the financial situation here and elsewhere. the average fan on the farm, in finance, retired, or elsewhere did not take anything approaching this kind of financial hit to her/his financial statements.
I am not misstating the situation btw

yes, you are misstating the situation. these are your words. and that is absolute poppycock.
My point (belief) is that our athletic department certainly didn’t feel the pain as much as the average fan that buy tickets.

Let’s see. People trying to feed their families. KState athletics feeding the beast. KState athletics can get low interest loans, beg for (and receive) $ from major donors. Average Joe worried about health insurance.
Our definitions of pain are different.

Every game we play we are expected to lose.
Not acceptable to me.
One person is responsible for this.

you seriously post here that the average k-stater, the family feeding "the beast," has had trouble feeding his/her family?PurpleOnWhite wrote: ↑March 1st, 2021, 7:00 pmLet’s see.

Some folks have no sense of reality or ability to empathize with ordinary people. It’s too bad the KSU athletic department and its minions are unwilling to do more than symbolic pay cuts that don’t really affect anyone. But would you expect otherwise?tmcats wrote: ↑March 2nd, 2021, 9:48 amyou seriously post here that the average k-stater, the family feeding "the beast," has had trouble feeding his/her family?PurpleOnWhite wrote: ↑March 1st, 2021, 7:00 pm

Take a lap with that nonsense and get a grip on reality - loads of people of all stratospheres have suffered greatly during this ordeal. If you don't personally know anyone, good for you. But stupid generalizations are just that - stupid.tmcats wrote: ↑March 2nd, 2021, 9:48 amyou seriously post here that the average k-stater, the family feeding "the beast," has had trouble feeding his/her family?PurpleOnWhite wrote: ↑March 1st, 2021, 7:00 pm
