Looks like K-State has finally had enough from Fresno State and would like nothing else than to pull out of next season Sept. 6th match up between the two schools.  Talks continue to develop as K-State is willing to pay $500,000.00 to pull out of this match up in Manhatten.

Fresno State has handled K-State in it's previous two match ups 45-21 in '05 and 45-27 last season. 

I guess I can't blame them for not wanting to be embarressed again at home to a so-called "non-BCS" school.  If I were K-State, I'd want NO part of Fresno State either -- not after those shellakings!

I think it's great that Prince wants KSU to play some tougher non-conference games... and has set up some great ones in future years if we can get back into the swing of things and stay strong all season.  I felt sick in '05 when we got whooped at home by the Bulldogs.  After seeing so many better teams come to Manhattan and leave(sometimes with a win) but always thinking our program is tougher than the credit given, I think Fresno St. sucked the life out of that one. 

Maybe we need to reschedule USC some more.....   since we had their # for a few years there.

Hey, K-state hasn't even released a reason why they will pay up instead of playing for money at home.  Maybe one of you guys may have heard SOMETHING through the grapevine?  I think it would be a great game for both sides.  K-state needs the competition and FSU isn't unstoppable.  Hopefully it doesn't happen.  500 grand is a steep price and FSU could use the money.

I've heard that it's the Athletic Department that wants out of the game, but I don't know the reason why. I think that KSU needs to play this game. When you schedule an opponent you need to play that team, even if you did get embarassed both of the times you played them. I understand that Prince wasn't the coach when Fresno was added to the schedule, but I think you need to honor the schedule that is given to you.

That's funny.  Pulling out against a WAC team because they have whupped you the past two seasons.  What about this new 20+ Juco Players to help win now?  Just play the games you're given Prince and stop whining.  I think Prince will definately be on the Hot Seat this year if he doesn't produce a winning season and a high Bowl game birth.  Otherwise I think Alumni will look to someone else.

i don't think we are done with them, i don't think we want part of fresno state either, i think we need to play this game, it will prove that we accomplished, i mean look how bill snyder was at first at kstate, then look what he did, 3 to 4 years, it will be good with prince i believe but the juco thing was a no go, i think that we need to play fresno and beat them then we would have matured as a team, and protect josh freeman oline for christ sakes!~

 

go cats!~

I guess your just going to have to settle to going back to your normal schedules with wussing out of playing Fresno St replacing them Montana State. I think KSU was just starting to get more respect ... you may as well join the Missouri Valley Conference.

As a Fresno State fan, I was disappointed by K-State backing out of this game. I thought K-State was a formitable opponent, and added credibility to the developing Fresno State program. It's a shame that K-State is now using additional funds slated for the program to pay Fresno State to back out of this game; it borders on misappropriation. However, having had Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Auburn back out of games in Fresno in recent years, we bounce back. Two years ago, USC replaced Auburn on the schedule, and even though it was a 50-42 loss, it put Fresno on the national stage as a respected program. This year K-State was replaced by Rutgers, although Rutgers is a program with only recent success and with the departure of their featured back Rice, is probably not as respected a program with a history as K-State. It's a shame.
