When Bill Snyder learned he had throat cancer four months ago, the Kansas State football coach reacted to the diagnosis the same way he would a costly fumble.
“Not something you want to hear,” Snyder said Tuesday at his first news conference of the spring. “But, by the same token, it is what it is and you have to deal with it.”
That businesslike approach seems to have helped Snyder endure months of treatment. Though he appeared to have lost weight and strength while making public appearances at basketball games this winter, he looked back to normal while speaking with media for the first time since K-State’s 2016 season concluded with a victory at the Texas Bowl.
