Why, then, did Tang say he didn’t do a “very good job of preparing” his team for “how…

On Tuesday, Kansas State began spring football as they officially begin preparation for the 2023 season — a year they’ll look to defend their first Big 12 conference title in a decade.

Texas and Oklahoma will leave behind the $50 million each school would have received over the next two seasons under the Big 12′s media contracts.

After a December public input session on concepts for the redevelopment of Aggieville’s 12th and Laramie Streets, Manhattan City Commissioners Tuesday got a chance to weigh in on a pair of possibilities.

Aggieville business owners in December gave positive reviews for the early plans – and commissioners were largely on board as well, though wanted to ensure proper drainage was…
