Kansas State signs Bill Snyder, 78, to new 5-year contract


So much for Kansas State coach Bill Snyder retiring anytime soon.

Just days after saying he felt energized heading into this season, the school announced Thursday it had signed Snyder to a new fiveyear contract that includes a pay bump to $3.45 million this season and could keep the 78-year-old coach with the Wildcats through the 2022 season.

Snyder already had a contract that essentially rolled over each year. But the new deal increases his salary immediately while adding an additional $300,000 each of the next two season, and it includes a clause that allows for a salary renegotiation after the 2020 season.

“We felt that it was important to recognize his commitment to our football program, and we look forward to his continued leadership,” Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor said.

Snyder resurrected the Kansas State program when he arrived in 1988, taking a program that had been dubbed “Futility U” to national prominence. He stepped away in 2005, citing a desire to spend more time with his family, only to return in 2009 when the program had again fallen on hard times.

Early last year, Snyder revealed that he had been diagnosed with throat cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He rarely missed a day in the office, though, and was deemed to be cancer-free when the Wildcats reported for fall camp.

So are we going to publicly shame the OP, allow it to be merged or just let the tread die on the vine?

The anticipation is killing me.

I’m waiting for someone to make fun of the OP in meme form, then call in the mods for the threads to be merged, thus make it look like the person is making fun of the wrong OP.

Does this count as another win for the Big 12 in the conference affiliation thread?
