There is a reason the football coach retired. Just looked up their recruiting rank and they came in at #51 which is last in the SEC. Vanderbilt even ranked higher. That $32 million dollar shortfall may get worse. Football is the cash cow for most schools and revenue usually helps fund other sports. It could get ugly, just what they deserve....
Well, as a life-long Jayhawk I have not spent a lot of time pulling for Mizzoo.
However, as I spent most of my life in the Kansas City area and still get back to the Lake, many friends are Tiger fans. They were all deeply embarrassed about the turn of events last year. Pinkel had been in a death-spiral for about four years — his behavior showed it.
The football coach left because he has stage 3/4 cancer. Can’t hate a guy for that. His handling of the team on the way out the door however left something to be desired. A lot of donors/alums are pi$$ed.
Football recruiting has always ranked near the bottom of the SEC for the short time that they’ve been in the SEC. It was the same with the Big XII before that. Despite that Mizzou won 2 East Div. titles. This next season will be a big one: new coach, how many season ticket holders will renew?
