Sounds like K-State needs to fire its PR director, if that is how they handle a crisis.
Good point. We (Ohio State) took our hits this season with Clarett's antics. I will say that Andy Geiger (our AD) handled the situation in an upfront manner, and held several press conferences to keep the media informed. We all know how the media is, and if they can't have their nose stuck in every little detail, they'll hang you out to dry.
