[B]- Kansas is about to put a TON of money into football. How much will it help?[/B]

Athletic director Sheahon Zenger said the school is planning a stadium renovation and $300 million to go into the program, according to the [I][URL='http://www.kansascity.com/article157511239.html'][U]Kansas City Star.[/U][/URL][/I] For reference, Minnesota’s entire TCF Bank Stadium, which opened in 2009, cost about the same to construct.

What does it mean? You know Kansas’ problems. Outside of the 2007 Orange Bowl season, they’ve been one of the worst Power 5 teams for almost two decades. They haven’t won a road game since 2009. Facilities need to get better, but can you get talent? Big 12 recruiting has fallen back recently. Kansas State built its program behind Bill Snyder and JUCO players. Kansas currently has the No. 27 class and two 4-star commits. David Beaty is getting the attention of recruits, but he has a long way to go.

"It's exciting for me because it's a great time to be at KU," Beaty said. "That guy (Zenger) has done so much here, and for him to clear the deck and really make room for football right now — and he's a football guy at heart — knowing that our fans deserve a really, really nice stadium ... we want these people to be comfortable and really enjoy their time there.”
