Big 12 Media Days ran in Frisco Jul 8, 2025 to Jul 9, 2025, and Kansas State's own aircraft made the trip. Every Big 12 school sends its head coach and player representatives to the conference's preseason media event.

The Cessna Citation CJ3, registered to Kansas State University, departed Manhattan, KS at 06:52 ET on Jul 8, 2025 and landed at Salina, KS at 21:53 ET.

The registration ties the aircraft to the school; the flight record does not say who was aboard, and the event dates are the only link between this trip and the meeting itself.
