I guess I just don't think you and I know enough to say that KNS held this story until an opportune time. Just because they declined the raises weeks or months ago does not mean those cuts were put on paper that would make it FOIA-able until recently. I just think you're taking some information and making it fit your narrative.
I've FOIA'd contracts before - the University has ways to slow play and delay the process.
Also, I don't really buy the idea of a "hit piece," at least not in this context. Toppemeyer wasn't advocating for outrage or for a result. He was simply saying, "I found this and confirmed it. Now it's public record."
It's easy to point fingers at the media when the real fingers should be pointed at the assholes who didn't take one for the team.
Blake and KNS get their share of the blame. It was, like most of his hot takes, designed to make the football program look bad. Admittedly, the coaches who kept their money when they knew everyone was asked to make sacrifices is totally on them. I don't blame the lower salaried guys nearly as much.
