The NCAA recently concluded an informal survey of every FBS football program to get a handle on how many total employees each school has on staff. CBS Sports got their hands on this report, and the information is interesting, although requires a large portion of salt in order to digest.
As one could probably expect, Kansas State is eighth in the Big 12 based on the available information, employing a total of 24 people including on-field coaches, strength coaches, graduate assistants, operations, and recruiting staff. That is well below the Big 12 average of 28.
