You are aware that this isn't against the rules and never has been, right? And don't schools, ISU included, hire personnel largely based on what recruits they will be able to bring in?

Glad you had a good experience. My family was at the game as well and said that ISU had a nice sized turnout and that all the ISU fans they saw were friendly and well behaved. Glad KU won and I wish they would play this game on any darn day but a Monday so I could go. Sounds like it was pretty electric in there.
Threatened? No. It's just fun to have another team in the Big 12 that looks like they could be consistently good to go against. Texas keeps trying but Barnes seems to be fading the last few years. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get fired if he doesn't make the tourney this year or next. Drew can recruit the heck out of those fine Southern Baptist but he can't stop shooting himself in the foot in game. West Virginia is a team of scrappers but yikes. I don't want to enter any good natured trash talk with their fan base because I am worried they'll find me and burn down my house. K-State just makes me sad although it's fun to watch Bruce Weber make all those funny faces. Okie State seems to get some good talent despite their pathetic coach and fan support. TCU and Texas Tech are cannon fodder.
KU fans are passionate about their team and enjoy finally having another team in the Big 12 with an equally passionate fan following. We aren't threatened, we welcome it. Nice to have someone to battle. In the long run, it's good for KU.
Kansas played out of their minds, and ISU couldn't hit a single open shot. - transcribed from Tuco (1/17/15, with ISU and Booniversity of Kansas swapped)
No - I did not know that this type of payola was OK in college sports. And are you OK with University of Kansas paying bribes (jobs) to families of your basketball recruits? Please don't get defensive - just curious.
Am I OK with KU hiring two long time basketball coaches to be Director of Basketball Operations (a completely meaningless position that all programs have) because it gives them a better shot at a recruit? Yes, I am. And Ronnie Chalmers didn't get offered the position by Self until months after Mario Chalmers committed and Self found out that his parents were going to be moving from Alaska to Lawrence to be around their son. Larry Brown did clearly offer the position to Ed Manning to aid in the recruitment of Danny.
If the ncaa were to make this against the rules then I would no longer be OK with it.
I guess because that's what you're told then it's true. I'm not sure if you are that gullible, in that much denial or just plain not very smart. Probably a combination of the three.
12 posts, active poster I see. Why did you decide to come back today?
Dude, I don't know if you noticed but KU won. Go home.
I'm kind of tired of seeing this in multiple posts. Please edit to say "better team last night" in future posts. I am not close to thinking that we are not on-par with KU or better than them this year.
ISU is getting under KU's skin. The talk about Hilton Magic, and the constant positive media attention for Fred has to eat at them. The signs that were denigrating Hilton Magic were great to see. Are we a true rival for KU? Not yet, but they know we are a threat.
What, ku fans hypocritical? Nah, can't be. They were chanting 'ooooooh!' not that other one that's so far below their heightened perch.
