As bad as KU football is, could you imagine what this might have looked like had it taken place in say, oh, 1987.
A thought experiment - say right after the death penalty of SMU, the power players of the college football world feared the over reach of the NCAA and said enough was enough and started what we’re seeing now.

TLDR - When it comes to college football, nobody does it worse than Kansas State. After 93 years of trying to play the game, the Wildcats' record is 299-509-41, dead last among the 106 schools in Division I-A.
