MANHATTAN, Kan. -- It's a time of relentless change in college football. Schools flip leagues, players sprint to the portal and coaches change jobs at dizzying rates.
The only constant in college football is the cycle of incessant change, and that has only amplified in the past few years.
So with the Big 12 opening up the sport's 2023 media day circuit this week, it's nice to see in this volatile new era there's some familiar notions like Kansas State being outside of the sport's hype vortex.
With Kansas State returning 15 starters from a team that toppled TCU for the Big 12 title last year, the program's aspirations for the first back-to-back titles in school history hinge on an antiquated concept that's becoming a buzzy idea in this new era: Can continuity be a competitive advantage?

Kansas State: College football's quietest conference champion
Preseason ballots might point to Texas, but the Wildcats return 15 starters from the team that upended TCU in the Big 12 title game.
