ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

@sptwri Mike DeArmond
I'm told Deaton and MU are playing hard ball over changes they want made. Doesn't mean MU staying or not. But MU is not playing pattycake.

Great news!

It is the premier athletic conference in the country with unprecedented revenue upside. Continuing to play devil's advocate in this thread just makes you look clueless and devalues your opinion.

Scared Beaker - nothing more, nothing less.

They really out themselves quickly, don't they?

My guess would be that every single 'demand' they make would be one that K-State or KU would make as well if they had the capital to make them.

It's not like they're going to demand to be allowed to play all conference games at home or to get Nebraska's % cut of the revenue. They're essentially going to demand stuff that would make us more in line w/ the B1G and hopefully address the LHN.

You fellas should probably be rooting for them at this point.

Missouri has the two largest media markets in the conference footprint outside of the state of Texas. Mizzou has a lot of leverage.

K-State or KU demanding anything would also be laughable.

Missouri "has the two largest media markets" just as much as Illinois has a stranglehold on Chicago, or Rutgers does with New York City.

Missouri has 6 million residents and 1 major university. Its not a Rutgers situation. People who live in Overland Park seem to think that KC is a Jayhawks town, but it isn't.

I took my kid to Worlds of Fun yesterday, and close to 10% of the people there were wearing Tigers gear. I might have seen two or three each of Jayhawks, Wildcats, and Huskers. I'll bet I saw over 100 people in Mizzou gear.

LMAO

I'm sorry, and I don't quite know why, but that struck me as a funny validation example.

The KC Star thinks Kansas City is a KU town. They also prove that K-State fans are younger, richer, better looking, and less bandwagon-y than both fanbases.
