@justanotherfan Again, I’ve seen Grimes play in person multiple times because I work 15 minutes from his school. Grimes is a top 5 freshman Self has brought in, but he’s 3rd at best behind Jackson and Rush.

I also don’t know that I can definitively say Grimes is better than Sherron Collins was at the same point.

@justanotherfan As good as Grimes is, and I saw him in person a couple of times this past season, he’s not better than Josh Jackson or Brandon Rush. Those are the two best players Self has recruited to KU.

I’m selfishly disappointed, I wanted this year’s game to be in Reed Arena so I could make the hour drive up to College Station for the game.

Beating Kentucky again is a nice consolation prize to watch I guess.

@HighEliteMajor The timing isn’t odd at all. Girod recently met with the high value donors in Arizona. They likely withdrew financial support of the stadium project unless changes were made. Since Girod said there was already a search committee in place, that means he likely started assembling that committee shortly after the donors meeting.

That’s the why on the timing. The lack of progress is likely specifically referring to the fundraising of the stadium project.

@kjayhawks Schneider has had way too much turnover and instability on his roster to ever have consistent success. He’s 6-48 in Big 12 games that cast majority of those losses have not been the least bit competitive.

Ritch Price has been here 16 years and has 3 NCAA tournament appearances and has missed the B12 tournament 7 or 8 times I believe.

Softball has regressed from a few years ago when KU was safely making the NCAA tournament.

I think Price’s contract is near its end so firing him shouldn’t be a concern.

Glad it finally happened. Sounds like Girod has already started looking for Zenger’s replacement even before he fired Zenger. I think Girod gave Zenger the courtesy of finishing put the academic year before pulling the trigger.

I also don’t see Beaty being fired immediately either because there aren’t any quality coaches available around Memorial Day. I would expect a new AD to be hired in late June or in July and that Beaty will start the year as football coach, but won’t make it to the end of the season. KU has a bye week halfway through the season, I would expect Beaty to be fired after 6 games unless there is significant on field improvement and in the W-L column. That’ll give the new AD ample time to identify and hire a quality coach for 2019.

Other coaches that need to go are Brandon Schneider, Ritch Price, and the softball coach because those 3 programs have been really bad either since Zenger got here, or significantly regressed since he got here.

@JayHawkFanToo ESPN paid the B12 $10 million extra over the remainder of the contract to eliminate that clause. Fox didn’t do anything because they knew the B12 didn’t have the guts to follow through because of the fear of what would happen next go around.

@dylans Don’t know where you’re pulling doom and gloom and me not being happy about the reality that the Alamo Bowl outdraws a Duke/UNC basketball game from, but if making baseless accusations floats your boat, then have it.

@dylans Most 3rd tier bowl games draw bigger TV ratings than any regular season college basketball game.

Most people don’t pay any attention to college basketball until March and because of that, TV deals for college basketball don’t even live in the same neighborhood as football TV contracts.

@dylans You do know that 1/8 of the entire U.S. population lives in California right?

Did you also know that 7 of the top 25 biggest media markets are in P12 country and only 3 of those are in California?

I think it’s more that you don’t give a crap about the west coast as opposed to the rest of the country because the evidence sure doesn’t back up your statements.
