Also, the Big XII is pretty much giving up Kansas City as a market if they move the tourney. There will still be alums of KU and KSU, but the casual, unaffiliated fan won't grow up bonding with the conference from their experiences in the Big XII tourney. They'll have to settle for watching football games against Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, etc. and basketball games against Kentucky, Florida, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

You have such a consistent slant on things, it is really prettyfunny. Weather has a a lot to do with the location of the bowl games, and Texas, along with it's population, makes the most sense of all the Big 12 locations. St Louis bowl? LOL
Will the casual Kansas City fan not be exposed to Vandy and Kentucky football?
Will the casual Kansas City fan not be exposed to Auburn and Mississippi basketball?
Just a guess, but I would bet the BB fans will be watching games being played by the basketball schools KU and K State.
