The Big XII is going to be the new CUSA. The new WAC if they lose any to the SEC.

Lies. The only way this happens is if Texas leaves.

Because his failure rate at the stories he breaks from his "sources" is 100%. After everything is said and done and he's called out to name his sources who were wrong yet again, he just laughs and says "no". Do you listen to 810? It's comedy gold. He was once seriously saying that, according to his sources, Lance Stephenson was coming to K-State because he was pissed at KU (for passing on him). Dude is a master at driving his ratings up, I'll give him that. As far as having sources and knowing inside information - not so much.

Texas staying is the best case scenario? The success of the Big 12 hinges on keeping the school that keeps its money, is starting its own network, and basically runs the league?

Good luck with that.

That could be evidence that he lies about having sources or it could be evidence that he just doesn't always have good sources. You're just blindly guessing in this case which is ironic given the accusation you're making.

He wouldn't have sources if he gave them up on a regular basis.

I realize this, but I don't think you guys listen to him. Most of the things he claims are ridiculous and no source would ever claim them to be true. He literally throws shit at the wall and hope it sticks, most of the time he knows the shit won't stick but it'll drive up his ratings. He's the radio equivalent of Nick Athan.

I listen to him quite a bit although to be honest I like Nick Wright better. I just think it's quite plausible that he has sources who are telling him a quite plausible story and I'm confident that neither you nor Nick knows whether he has sources or not. We'll probably know in a month or two whether his story pans out.

Of course his story will pan out, because MU and NU are going to the B10. Doesn't mean he had sources. If you listen to him, then you know his tactics.

"Now, don't quote on me on this, BUT...."

"I'm not saying this, people, but I'm just saying... [insert stupid rumor]. Call us and tell us what you think."

I mean, it's laughable.

this kind of stuff is hilarious.....

does it really matter if KK is quoting incorrect sources or has no sources at all? He continually reports false information as fact. Which, for a journalist, is the cardinal sin.

He says, himself, that his job is to comment and not to report, he takes all the responsibility out of the equation. Then he goes on to report a bunch of garbage. Like I said before, it's all for ratings and judging by the people driven to call his show after each stupid claim he makes, it's a very successful enterprise.

I hate to be the guy defending him because he annoys me in many ways too, but he's not wrong all the time.

When he takes a safe bet like this, he's probably going to come off as being right. I've been saying the move is going to happen a long time ago as well, doesn't mean I have inside sources.

Did you identify Rutgers as a shoe-in along with MU and NU?
