堪萨斯州立大学周日晚间解雇了男子篮球教练杰罗姆·唐，当时正值他第四个赛季的中途，理由是其最近的公开言论以及球队发展方向。此决定源于对辛辛那提队失利后病毒式传播的赛后抨击，并伴随着自其成功首赛季以来表现下滑。该举动引发了关于唐合同买断的谈判。
杰罗姆·唐在堪萨斯州立大学的任期于周日晚间突然结束，大学以事由解雇了他，这距离他那场引发病毒式传播的激烈赛后新闻发布会不到四天。这位59岁的教练在其2022-23赛季首秀带领野猫队取得26胜10负战绩并获得NCAA锦标赛第3种子，进入精英八强，但随后几年球队表现挣扎。自那次突破性赛季以来，堪萨斯州立大学战绩为45胜47负，在大12联盟中为18胜32负。2025-26赛季尤其惨淡，野猫队仅取得10场常规赛胜利和大12联盟1胜，这是球队25年来第三差的胜率记录。
X上的讨论凸显了对堪萨斯州立大学以‘事由’解雇教练杰罗姆·唐的震惊，此前他病毒式抨击球员并因球队表现不佳，用户对这一决定是否合理或是否为规避买断而分歧；唐的律师威胁进一步尴尬，引发关于NIL时代球员批评和球队快速衰退的辩论。

Jerome Tang got fired from Kansas State for being a lousy GM and for losing (but I think he’ll still eventually get paid).@AriWasserman brought up an interesting point: Now that the players are getting paid, can a coach be more publicly critical?https://t.co/fC92FHknDT pic.twitter.com/lUeXBoGnRC
