Mizzou fans are still lashing out at KU for getting knocked down a couple more pegs in the SEC pecking order?

At least you'll always have your chant.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist or anything.

But yeah, I am with Chris Beard taking the Texas job riiiight before this all broke.

They absolutely tipped him off.

I mean he grew up a Texas fan, went to Texas for college, and Texas has better resources. Maybe they reached out to him and he was one of the few in the know but I doubt it. They obviously didn’t leak this information to many people.

If this is true, why is the B1G talking to KU as we speak? What would there be to discuss?

I don’t think the B1G called KU. Especially since Oklahoma and Texas haven’t formally informed the Big12. But I’d be shocked if Kansas and everyone else hasn’t reached out to the B1G through back channels.

Yeah no way a guy who went to Texas would go back there and make even more money

Uh they aren’t but anyways I don’t know why you’re questioning me, it’s a done deal I thought? Remember?

Moves within a conf are nearly unheard of

You should post the rest where the call was re-scheduled so KU doesn't get in trouble before UT and OU officially announce *wink wink*

Is there a penalty for him going to the school he wants to be at, pays more money, has the bigger brand by miles, and better facilities/resources? I would see your point if the roles were reversed. But you’re clinging to conspiracy pretty tight here.

There is a lot of talk apparently that a potential split from the NCAA would open avenues to monetize basketball much better than in the past.

Also KU generated millions more than Rutgers and that's with the football team being historically low, it's basically only up from here. The future of Kansas is growth and that's why they'd be valuable.

Having KU basketball in the Big 10 makes them a legitimate basketball powerhouse second only to the ACC.

It’s going to be hilarious when the B1G let’s KU join for a minor membership getting 1/2 of what Michigan & the Ohio State get. I’m not sure they’ll get as much as Nebraska.

Uh oh.
