ChiefsPlanet - Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment

I believed she called to encourage them not to throw away 100 years of tradition and rivalry.

Then again for MU you might as well throw away the last 100 years.

She called them to get on her knees and see if there was something, ANYTHING she could do to convince them to stick around.

Sorry Ms. Gray-Little. We have tickets to the next rodeo. This one is breaking up. We're out. Later.

Why wouldn't they? They kept going to Memphis while Calipari was there.

And Cal was content to stay at a mid-major. Wait.

Notre Dame is your white knight. You'd better hope those fellas commit and stop this expansion talk soon...

From what I've heard, it hinges on what Nebraska does... if they decide to leave, Texas and the little ones are more likely to leave. If Nebraska stays, regardless of what Mizzou does, Texas is more likely to stay and the Big 12 could be the Big 11. I really don't know, as it's all just speculation, of course.... in the long run, it might not matter anyway.

So when the Big 12 disbands and Self leaves, they plan on hiring Cal?

Kansas is on its knees begging NU and MU to stay.

Gotta love that

FFS, of course it would hurt KU to move to the MWC, and the school and fans should be a little scared...... but not to be outdone, in the other corner are Mizzou fans mocking, get this, winning & success... and trying to be superior because their school is closer to St. Louis. Seriously? Get a ****ing grip, people.

Nah, I think most MU fans are mocking the rampant basketball-centricism of many KU fans.

On the KU boards 90% of my posts are on football.

Basketball is just a nice little gem that some of us keep in our back pocket.

I actually find the KU fan and KU football fan to be completely different, which I'd expect is true of the MU football vs MU basketball fan.

http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/15/comm...sbiz/index.htm

That left Villanova with only a 38 percent profit margin, a bit below the combined 45 percent profit margin for the 64 tournament teams that report results (Air Force is exempt from reporting).

Together those schools had a combined $330.8 million in revenue during the 2004-05 school year, and $148.3 million in profits, even when including results from the 14 money-losing basketball programs involved in March Madness.

Based on those numbers, basketball is more of a sure money maker for schools than college football -- at least for the schools in the so-called six major conferences.

Really, I don't make stuff up. I swear...

This data is 5 years old. It is so out of date the program in this article that makes the most $ is U of A basketball which is now making about nothing if not losing $.
Let's see the current revenue$ numbers of football and basketball side by side, conference by conference.
If data age makes no difference I can prove to you why the Model T is the most profitable car to produce.
