Even if the Big XII goes up in a mushroom cloud tomorrow, tourneys will still be played at Sprint Center. P&L is too good of a venue for some conference not to take advantage of.


edit - T-Mobile Center. Way to **** it up, Sprint.

That’s doesn’t even make any sense. Do better. You reek of desperation.

I think it'd be possible but I'd be surprised if the Big Ten put it in the regular rotation. Even some of the western schools like Indiana, Purdue and Wisconsin are probably about 500 miles away, and the eastern half of the league is forever and a day away.

MVC would have jumped at it back when Creighton and Wichita State were in the league. League has shifted east since they left.

You sound scared of competition

Big Ten did hold its conference tournament in New York and Washington DC.

Yeah and a lot of people hated it. And that was solely to get exposure in NY and DC. Kansas City isn't nearly that kind of market.

I mean I wouldn't be surprised at all if KC got a Big Ten tourney at all because KC is fantastic at hosting those kinds of events. But there's no way they pull out of the Chicago and Indy rotation, it'd just be a once every few years thing. And if Ohio State and Michigan weren't into it, maybe less.

I do not want Texas in the SEC at all, though they wouldn’t be able to get away with acting as the alpha in the SEC given the presence of Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, Florida, etc.

Indifferent on Oklahoma.

I don’t see this being good for the SEC other than more $ and more mouths to feed.

It’s all anyone ever cared about. And it’s only worse post-COVID

I can see the SEC raiding the top teams from the ACC/B1G/P12 and setting up their own super league eventually.

NCAA is toast with NIL. The SEC can become an semi-pro league now with a huge built in fan base.

The SEC has the most athletes and money/TV sets. Why share the wealth with schools and sports they don't give a crap about?

Which is unfortunate because that’s how you end up with situations like Rutgers to the Big 10 and the mess known as the American Conference.

College sports would be better off if Texas and it’s little siblings were back in their own league.

P12 maybe, but not ACC. I think B10, SEC, and ACC are the most stable conferences. ACC in general also has much higher academic standards than the SEC-moreso than majority of B10.

That would make for a very competitive basketball schedule. We’d get smashed in football but that’s gonna happen no matter what.

They gone.
