KU is a perfect fit in that conference.

Every game would be on National TV.

Yup. Them strong arming stuff, starting their own channel is why I didn't really blame Nebraska and Mizzou for leaving. Though Nebraska has been pathetic since they left.

Agreed. That would be a perfect landing spot for KU if the B1G doesn't come calling.

This is your high point as a Nebraska fan in the last 15 years. Lulz.

No. ACC is perfect

And that’s where we’re headed.

The Longhorn Network basically de-stabilized the Big 12.

Oklahoma was a member of the Big 8 before the Texas schools joined.

Oklahoma also wasn't the member that basically de-stabilized the conference 10 years ago.

Oklahoma's AD didn't speak down on record about other schools programs, unlike Texas' AD at the time.


Honestly, that would make more sense than the B1G from a market stand point. Reach into the KC market with some STL-neither of which were covered by ACC before.

No Suh and going to 3 conference title games in 4 years was. A coach does that at KU he gets a statue built at Nebraska that gets you fired.

SEC nearly completely locked down STL now - to the extent they watch college sports, which is dubious. It’s (1) Cards (2) Cards (3) Blues Hockey (4) Cards and (5) whatever else.


The key to KU-ACC is: National. ESPN research shows big matchups draw more eyeballs than “conference” games. They’re going big. A junior pro model. And they plan to win!

HOLY SHIT ROFL

I'd say St. Louis is split like the following for college sports fandom-mind you I'm throwing numbers out of my ass:

Mizzou 50%
Illinois 30%
Kansas 10%
SLU 5%
Miscellaneous 5% (Arkansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Oklahoma, etc.)

I don't think Mizzou has as strong of a foothold in interest as some people think in St. Louis. It's by far the most popular collegiate sports fan base in the area, but the other schools still have a decent presence and I don't see the top 2 schools in terms of interest changing any time soon.

For basketball, yes. KU would be a huge draw. I just don't know if that alone offsets how poor of a following (and performance) the football team has.

Granted, Rutgers has also been horribad and has nowhere near a national following in any sport like KU does for the B1G, but they also are able to bring in some of the NYC market.

Of the remaining members of the B12, I'd argue KU is probably the best positioned to find a decent landing spot because of basketball. After that, IDK. Iowa St. and Oklahoma St. are the little siblings of their states, but at least Ok. St. has some semi-balance of historic and current success along with basketball.

Kansas St. has almost no national following what so ever. Tech, Baylor, TCU will probably end up in something like the American, though I'd argue TCU could have an argument for being in a power conference more-so than Tech or Baylor.

I mean if the ACC will have us, thats the money play but man if UK comes along too like you say that's almost too many Blue Bloods in one conference. Duke and UNC will still always be the darlings of that conference.

I do not believe UK has any interest in leaving the SEC currently. Plus, a large draw for recruits coming to UK in football is to play in the SEC. It makes no sense for the school to change affiliations. Alumni would not be happy and I think there's something to be said within the state as to looking down as Louisville as inferior-meaning whatever conference that Louisville is in, by default, is inferior to whatever UK is in because it has Louisville in it.

SEC will generate more revenue than the ACC.

Also, **** Louisville.

ACC makes a lot of sense for Kansas, although it’s going to be a lot tougher sledding there than in the Big XII, and the travel will be rough.

No reason whatsoever for UK to leave the SEC.

I was wondering where THUJONE had run off to
