"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Bill Snyder points in the direction of better times. (Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Zac Ellis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kansas State coach Bill Snyder doesn't like what he's seeing in college athletics, which he says is \"in a bad place right now.\" In an interview with Kansas City's 610 Sports Radio KCSP, Snyder said his departure from coaching football may \"not [be] too far away\" because of how money-driven the culture has become.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Snyder, the architect behind Kansas State's success, signed a new five-year contract worth $14.75 million in January. He believes it's another sign of the current problem in college sports. \u201CI can only speak personally,\u201D Snyder said. \u201CI'm grossly overpaid for what I do. That's part of what creates the issue.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 73-year-old coach began his full-time coaching career in 1964 as an assistant at Indio High in California. It was a time, he said, when coaching was about coaching. \u201CWe didn't grow up with it being the way it is right now,\u201D Snyder said. \u201CMaybe we're just hard-pressed to accept change. We've been moving in a wrong direction and I hope somebody can help put the brakes put on at some point in time.\u201D\nIn 22 total years with the Wildcats, Snyder has won 170 games. He's a major reason why the school's athletic department is lauded as one of the most successful in the country.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
