For sure. IIRC, K-State even toyed with the idea of dropping football altogether had the Snyder hire failed to work out. When he took on the job 30 years ago, the program was the only one in D1 with 500 losses. To wrap one's head around that, the Arizona Wildcats (which I would say is a comparable program today) is still over 30 losses away from 500 (granted, Zona has played about 100 fewer all-time games, but I think the point still stands).
