K-State Athletic Director Joins Waiting Game On NCAA House Settlement

The pending NCAA House settlement still dominates college football conversations, as programs are preparing to limit their rosters for next season.

Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor is among those waiting for the rule to be finalized.

"Obviously, we talked a lot about the details of the settlement in those three series, and right now it's really we're waiting on Judge Wilkins," Taylor said to K-State Athletics. "She was supposed to do a settlement final approval on April 7. She liked most pieces of the settlement, except she had concerns about roster limits. That's probably the biggest pushback from objectors in terms of walk-ons and their lawyers, saying, 'We don't agree with the roster limits, because it's going to limit the opportunities.' So she pushed back."

K-State coach Chris Klieman has already vocalized his dissatisfaction with the new rule. He says college programs are essentially "frozen" until the settlement is finalized.

“Nobody knows how many, nobody knows if you’re gonna get a lot of kids, nobody knows anything," Klieman said in his May 2 press conference. "It’s awful for the players and it’s awful for the coaches that we don’t have an answer. Nothing we can do other than just wait. When it gets thrown at us, then we’ll figure it out.”
