Bring On The Cats, a Kansas State Wildcats community

IT'S ALIVE. Jon finally finds some free time and explains that there's really only one revenue sport now, at least if your school plays big-boy football.

The Slate is dying for the weekend. Today, Erik Kynard defends high jump national title, Ron Bramlage and family killed in plane crash, college football selection committee, Florida State board of trustees meeting, and Big 12 position player rankings.

The Slate is looking for content. Today, K-State ready for NCAA Track and Field Championships, Big 10 is hopelessly stuck in the past, how to poach another conference's schools without getting sued, and BHGP's Pro Combat series.

The Slate just wanted some rain. Today, Big 12 disavows expansion and conference championship game at spring meetings, and supports four-team playoff model, Chuck Neinas deserves a vacation, why the rest of the Big 12 should stand up to Texas this time, and George Brett uses Twitter to find his lost dog.

The Slate is muddling along. Today, Weber hires Frazier to complete staff, Finney on Rimington Award watch list, Texas happy with the status quo, Alden sees differences in Big 12 and SEC, and Craig James concedes Republican Primary.

Conference Realignment: Why is this happening? (Post 1)

The Slate is off to Indy. Today, Bat Cats eliminate Oklahoma State, Victor Ojeleye wins Arthur Ashe Jr. Award, Big 12's stance on expansion will be telling, Clemson's board of trustees says it will listen to other conferences, and John Swofford trusts his schools, just like John Marinatto did.

The Slate is one day from Indy. Today, Baylor run-rules Bat Cats, TCU's AD sort of confirms Big 12 expansion rumors (then backtracks!), more board meetings, and the best- and worst-case scenarios in realignment.

It's midweek at the Slate. Today, Bat Cats prepare for Baylor in OKC, Texas against Big 12 expansion but has talked to Notre Dame, Missouri will/will not regret its decision to leave the Big 12, the Big East died and was dead all along, and the reading level of sportswriters.

The Slate has a sunburn. Today, Joe Flattery honored by Big 12, SEC about to start network, realignment rankings, and Bill Stewart dies of a heart attack.
