Touring with the Catbackers: K-State coaches address NIL, and we discuss on the podcast
The Catbackers Tour rolled into Kansas City, bringing Kansas State coaches and athletes into a pep rally-like setting at Children’s Mercy Park. New men’s basketball coach Jerome Tang, assistant head football coach Van Malone and women’s basketball coach Jeff Mittie were the headliners.
