per CBS:

Yes, that's right. Go to watch the women play hoops and you can eat free bacon. Because what makes an arena smell better than sweat, sneakers, soda and pork? (Pork Soda, yumm!) The feast is on for Friday, as K-State opens its season at home against Tennessee State. For only that game, if you show up with valid ID, you're getting free bacon -- five slices of it.

Yahoo Sports tracked down those who did the thinking behind the publicity stunt and decided on the idea back in August.

"It was really honestly more of a joke when we threw it out to the committee at first," said Bethany Cordell, a graduate assistant in Kansas State's Fan Experience and Sales office. "We were like, 'What about bacon?' When we got such an overwhelmingly excited response, it was something we definitely had to look into."

Go Gophers!!
 

I heard from my sister in Quad Cities, IA, that Kansas bought all of the bacon slabs from the contestants in the Miss Iowa Contest at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines this summer.
