MANHATTAN, KS — In a move that has sent shockwaves rippling through the NCAA, the Kansas State Wildcats football program, and pretty much every rival team west of the Mississippi, star quarterback and team captain Avery Johnson has left fans, Head Coach Chris Klieman, teammates, and even conference rivals speechless after announcing one of the most astonishingly selfless clauses ever written into a college athlete’s agreement.

At a packed press conference early this morning—originally scheduled to discuss spring ball updates—Johnson stepped to the podium, cleared his throat, and dropped a statement that reporters are already calling “the wildest twist in Big 12 history.”

“Effective immediately,” Johnson said, “I’m adding a clause stating that any NIL earnings I make above the cost of tuition and housing will be distributed directly to… my offensive line.”

The room erupted. Some gasped. Some laughed in disbelief. One reporter allegedly passed out.

According to Johnson, the decision came after reviewing quarterback protection stats from last season and realizing that, in his words:

“Those guys keep me alive every Saturday. The least I can do is keep their fridges full.”

Coach Chris Klieman, normally composed, appeared visibly shaken—though in a good way.

“I’ve coached for decades,” Klieman said, wiping his eyes. “I’ve never seen anything like this. I’m trying to figure out whether to bench him for being crazy or hug him for being the best leader I’ve ever seen.”

The offensive line reacted with pure disbelief. Senior guard Mason Richards reportedly sprinted out of the facility yelling, “STEAKS! WE’RE EATING STEAKS ALL YEAR!”

Rival teams across the Big 12 also chimed in. One anonymous defensive coordinator texted a reporter:

“Man, now we can’t even hate the kid. This is ruining my week.”

Johnson insisted this wasn’t a stunt or a PR gesture.

“I just want my guys to know I appreciate them,” he said. “And also, if they could keep me from being sacked by Texas again… that’d be great.”

Fans online have already dubbed him “Saint Avery of Manhattan”, while Wildcats boosters are frantically rewriting fundraising plans to “keep up with whatever this kid does next.”

The NCAA has declined to comment, mostly because—according to insiders—“no one in the building has any idea if this is even a rule violation or just incredibly wholesome chaos.”
