Just a friendly reminder from big brother, we need it on every single discussion possible regarding anything that has to do with the 2 schools

I think it only goes to participants in the tourney each year and conferences running on some 6 year cycle or something.

Where did you read it goes to all 300 teams equally?

from wikipedia

Revenues

The Division I Men's Basketball tournament is the only NCAA championship tournament (officially, the BCS Football Championship is not an NCAA event) where the NCAA does not keep the profits. Instead, the money from the multi-billion-dollar television contract is divided among the Division I basketball playing schools and conferences as follows:[16]
1/6 of the money goes directly to the schools based on how many sports they play (one "share" for each sport starting with 14, which is the minimum needed for Division I membership).
1/3 of the money goes directly to the schools based on how many scholarships they give out (one share for each of the first 50, two for each of the next 50, ten for each of the next 50, and 20 for each scholarship above 150).
1/2 of the money goes to the conferences based on how well they did in the six previous men's basketball tournaments (counting each year separately, one share for each team getting in, and one share for each win except in the Final Four and, prior to the 2008 tournament, the Play-in game). In 2007, based on the 2001 through 2006 tournaments, the Big East received over $14.85 million, while the eight conferences that did not win a first-round game in those six years received slightly more than $1 million each.[17]

I didn't say it was split evenly. The pie is distributed throughout the NCAA. Everyone sees a piece of it.

I used the $2.5 million figure to show just how small the pie can be when you break it down on a more per-school basis. I know the splits aren't even. I wasn't about to sit here and figure 1/6 here, 1/3, 1/2 and all the other figures. The key thing is that... $10.8 billion is a huge figure. But it gets a lot smaller once you get subtract the costs from it, break it up over 14 years, and start thinking about how the money is actually divided.

I thought Wells was the ghetto. I don't recall them having air conditioning.

And of course, 2 of my best friends to this day lived in Wells, and I owned most of the west wing of the 2nd floor, and dabbled a bit on the west wing of the 4th floor (Wells alternated floors with gender - Males on odd floors, females on evens.)

My best work was once I moved into the house.

So a buddy of mine from STL calls the summer between Fresh/Soph year and says he's moving to Springfield. Not taking classes, but wants to be near his aging grandparents, who lived out near Bolivar.

His grandparents rents this house, and he invites me to share the place with him. 2 young guys in a nice, 3 bedroom place just off campus with hardwood floors - perfect for the single life.

We're watching a ballgame the first Thursday night of the Fall semester when the doorbell rings. No one knows my friend here, none of my friends knew the address yet. We're wondering who the **** is at the door at 9:30pm on a Thursday.

A dude and 5 chicks.

I answer the door:

"Uh, yeah, can I help you?"

One of the girls: "Uh, is Dan here?"

Me: "No one named Dan lives here. We just moved in."

*uncomfortable silence*

Other girl: "Oh, that sucks. We're freshmen and were told that Dan throws parties here every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night."

Me: "Give me a sec, I'll be right back."

It took all of a nanosecond for my roommate and I to invite them in.

Without telling a SOUL, 40 people showed the following night.

Close to 60 on Saturday.

There wasn't a Thursday-Saturday night the rest of the year we didn't have at least 30 people at our place.

I have no idea who the **** Dan was, but I'd love to buy him a beer, because he's partially responsible for the amount of sweet young ass I probably never would have met had his house not been a hotspot the year before.

Yeah, majoring in booze and minoring in women (possibly reversed) ruined my early college career. But I honestly wouldn't change it now if I could. SMSU was two of the best years of my life.

Sorry to interrupt the constant, pointless bickering in this thread, carry on.

Regents Affirm Joint Commitment to Big 12
Released 06/07/2010 by Kansas State University

TOPEKA, Kan. - Recognizing the success of Kansas State University (K-State) and the University of Kansas (KU) within the Big 12 Conference, Board of Regents' Chair Jill Docking, of Wichita, and Board of Regents' Vice Chair Gary Sherrer, of Overland Park, today issued the following joint statement:

"We are unwavering in our belief that the best course for K-State and KU is continued joint affiliation in the Big 12. The intra-conference rivalry between the Jayhawks and Wildcats is exciting for athletics fans both within the Sunflower state and nationwide. In addition, joint affiliation in the Big 12 fosters invaluable cooperation between our two universities when it comes to serving the academic needs of Kansans and the economic development needs of the state. Chancellor Gray-Little and President Schulz will continue to keep us apprised as Conference-related discussions continue, and we know our fellow Regents support their ongoing joint efforts to sustain and advance the Big 12."

The nine-member Kansas Board of Regents is the governing board of the state's six universities and the statewide coordinating board for the state's 32 public higher education institutions (seven public universities, nineteen community colleges, and six technical colleges). In addition, the Board administers the state's student financial aid, adult education, GED, and career and technical education programs. The Board also authorizes private proprietary schools and out-of-state institutions to operate in Kansas, and administers the Kan-ed network, a statewide network that provides broadband Internet access and distance learning capabilities for schools, hospitals, and libraries.

K-State: Anchoring the state of Kansas.

Well, we know a couple members have boarded Beebe's plane. Who else is gonna board before takeoff?

That would be incredible. This needs to happen.

Okay gang...

FWIW, this was just posted on our local radio show's facebook page:

Unsportsmanlike Conduct would like to alert everyone that Joe Schad is reporting that Notre Dame is "not budging" in their interest (or lack thereof) in the Big 10 Conference.

I wonder how any "news flash" false alarms there are going to be?

I hear that the Big 10 is now looking for houses in Leawood.
