I thought many were saying that KC was a KU town? STL is not, in any shape or fashion, an Illinois town.

Just read an interesting tidbit. Over the past 10 years, MU is the fastest growing university in the AAU. aTm is second.

It's still a state not represented in the conference. Should we have it in Omaha next? And who cares if it's a KU town or whatever. It. Is. Not. In. Big 12. Territory. Goodland Kansas probably roots for the Broncos.....you think Denver gives a shit?

Of course they should. Haven't we heard KC is the best place to have the tourney? Then why move it to Dallas? Big 12 would be cutting off its nose to spite its face.

Don't be such drama queens. You guys can borrow Sprint Center for a few days, we don't mind.

As long as they pay rent.

1. St. Louis has never hosted the tourney.

2. St. Louis isn't a B1G city.

3. St. Louis isn't located in the middle of the B1G.

Other than that, good point.

Mitch Holtus wants to build a roof over the soccer field!

If Mizzou leaves, KC is no longer central to the Big 12.

It's as absurd as the Mizzou fans thinking KC would ever host an SEC tourney.

And soon, KC, MO won't be in the middle of Big XII country, nor will it be a Big XII city. What I can't believe is that people from KC, MO would think the Big XII would want to continue it in KC, MO. It makes absolutely no sense. It will move to OKC and spots in Texas. I don't know why people would think the conference would be hunky dory with giving a non Big XII city revenues generated from a Big XII event. Does any other Big 6 conference do that?

I don't expect it to stay in the Sprint Center. I wonder if there is some sort of contract between the conference and the arena, though.

But all Big 12 fans, even OU and TX fans, say the Big 12 tournament sucks in Dallas and OKC compared to KC. Even if Mizzou is gone, you still have three local schools. You would really rather have a shittier tournament just to not have it in KCMO?

don't equate fan preference for our own selfish reasons with business decisions of the conference.

KCMO and Jackson County are the big loser in all of this... as usual. That group can't get enough stupid fans/voters.

I don't follow politics much but if I'm following this thread correctly: Texas is Wall Street. Mizzou fans are the Occupy Wall Street protesters. They are angry Texas has too much money. KU and KState are the middle class workers who don't like Texas having all the money but don't have time to picket because they have mortgages to pay.

Yeah, don't know the specifics about that. I'm sure there are cancellation fees, but I don't know if the Big XII actually made reservations beyond next year. Announcing their intentions and finalizing deals can be two separate things.
