Nice work if you can get it

After Ron Prince went 17-20 in three seasons at Kansas State, he was given the gate. But not without a $1.2 million buyout.

That's a fairly standard exit fee in today's game. What happened next, though, is a new twist.

Prince, or likely his lawyer, negotiated what Kansas State is now calling a "secret" agreement, according to the Kansas City Star, with lameduck athletic director Bob Krause. The deal reportedly calls for the university to pay a limited liability company, established by Prince, $3.2 million between the years 2015 and 2020.

K-State is suing Prince to negate the contract, which university president Jon Wefald contends never met approval from anyone other than Krause.

Clandestine deals? Balloon payments to a ghost LLC? If Prince, who has since landed an assistant's gig at Virginia, had showed that much initiative on the field, he'd still have his job.

So whose fault was it that they put a slimeball like that in charge?

That's crap, Prince got a raw deal at Kansas State and everyone who knows college football knows that. He's in a conference full of studs and only got 3 years to attempt to establish his program and was .500 just in the early stages.
