We wrapped up Season 4 by throwing it out to you… and you delivered (well, at least @scottwildcat did). From K-State coaching hot seat predictions to NIL strategy, Big 12 expansion ideas, and some completely unhinged questions, we hit it all in this Q&A episode. Topics include: – Which K-State program could see the next coaching change – How to spend $5M on K-State athletics (NIL strategy breakdown) – Big 12 media and kickoff time experiments – Casey Alexander expectations and timeline – The future of the show 👀 – And… yeah… some questions we probably shouldn’t have answered If you want more episodes like this, drop your questions in the comments — we’ll run it back.

Casey Alexander wants to bring a culture that wins and is exciting. When Matt heard he was the pick, he was excited. What does Chef think? How does this change or impact the trajectory of the K-State MBB program?

Kansas State has its new head coach — Belmont’s Casey Alexander — and the Wildcats are entering a brand-new era. In this episode we break down why K-State targeted Alexander, what made him successful at Belmont, and how his system could translate to the Big 12 gauntlet. What style of basketball will he bring to Manhattan? How might this impact recruiting and the current roster? And what should Wildcats fans realistically expect in year one? We dig into Alexander’s coaching philosophy, track record, and the potential upside (and risks) of this hire. If you’re a K-State fan or Big 12 basketball follower, this is everything you need to know about the Wildcats’ new leader.

Episode 200. Two hundred. From offseason debates to breaking down big wins and brutal losses, we’ve made it to a milestone, and we’re celebrating by taking over as Athletic Director at K-State for a day. If you were handed the keys to the department, what’s your first move? We dive into: • Renaming rights and facility sponsorship strategy • How we would distribute $20.5M in revenue share across football, basketball, and Olympic sports • The one non-revenue sport we’d elevate for national branding • CFP appearance vs Final Four… you must choose • Which head coach we’d move on from if we have to fire somebody (yes, we go there, no we can’t say matthew driscoll/jerome tang) • Adding one new men’s and one new women’s sport We assume revenue differences between CFP and Final Four don’t matter, so what truly builds legacy? Plus shoutouts to Auntie Mae’s Parlor (auntiemaes.com) and Heartland Beef Connection (heartlandbeef.net) for riding with us. After 200 episodes, we’re not playing it safe.
