The process of Kansas State changing football coaches from Bill Snyder to Chris Klieman will end up costing the university around $5 million.
Snyder retired from his post as K-State football coach last month after 27 transformational seasons in Manhattan that included 210 wins, 19 bowl games and two conference championships. But his decision to step down came with a $3 million incentive that the university will pay him quarterly over the next three years, according to a copy of the retirement agreement obtained by The Eagle through an open records request.
K-State also agreed to pay for Snyder and his wife to attend the National Football Foundation Annual Awards Dinner in New York for the remainder of his life, per the agreement.
