Snyder to return to Kansas State

Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder will be back on the sideline next season. The 78-year-old told his assistants during a short meeting he will re- turn for his 27th season with the Wildcats, a person familiar with his decision told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Snyder has not announced his plans. Snyder said after a Cactus Bowl victory over UCLA last week that he was still mulling whether to return next season or retire for a second time. He stepped away briefly after the 2005 season.
