That's not the way it works.

??????? Kansas City? The Big XII still has KC. KU and KSU owns that market according to Jayhawk and Wildcat fans.

True. Literally thousands of Kansas football fans showed up at Arrowhead.

Per WDAE 620: "On Wednesday the Big East is set to announce the addition of national power Boise State, as well as San Diego State, Houston, SMU and UCF for football."

That's going to be some long road trips for SDSU.

**** it, just merge the BEast with the MWCUSA. Regionalize them as much as possible and have a two-game conference championship.

The Big 12 will never hold another event in KC, err...

The athletic directors of the eight continuing and two new Big 12 Conference member institutions concluded two days of meetings today in New York City. The annual meeting was held in conjunction with this evening's National Football Foundation Hall of Fame induction banquet.

The ADs discussed football scheduling, the Bowl Championship Series, future television options, and governance matters, while also reaffirming the Big 12's commitment to hosting its men's basketball championship in Kansas City.

"Kansas City has a rich college basketball history," commented Big 12 Conference athletics director chairman and Iowa State University athletics director Jamie Pollard," and remains an attractive destination for our men's championship. It is an integral part of the Big 12 footprint and staging our championship at Sprint Center reinforces the strong presence of the Conference in the greater Kansas City area."

Last month, the Big 12 announced it would host its 2013 and 2014 women's soccer championships at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. The Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Championship is scheduled for Kansas City, Mo. through 2014.

LMAO

I thought Mizzou leaving the Big 12 was going to cost Kansas City, MO eleventy bajillion dollars?

Kietzman's head just exploded.

"But whyyyyy? Why would they ever hold a tournament in a state where they have no teeeeeams?"

I don't see where it's staying past the already contracted date. Which I believe was the argument.

My reaction to reading that article earlier today was one of absolute excitement for my city. Your reactions were to laugh and gloat about being right over other message board posters.

**** you guys.

Maybe he wasn't worried that the doomsday scenarios were going to come to pass.

When the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2000, my reaction was to laugh at the Y2K chicken little types. It wasn't to squeal with glee because the world didn't fly off its axis.

STL would never host one.

They just realized this was obviously the case, and laughed at the people who assumed it was going to be armageddon for the economy of Kansas City.

There were also a boatload of KU fans swearing their school wouldn't or shouldn't stand for it, a conference tourney being held in a state where it has no teams.

I guess it could be held in Texas or Oklahoma every year, that would make more sense.

Well it is KANSAS City...
