And yet KU makes a shit load more money than both K-State and Missouri even with that program at rock bottom.

KU is a sleeping giant. If they could even get their football program to Iowa level, they might be the most profitable athletic department that exists.

Best case for the Purps is that the Rump stays together and we add BYU and a 10th. But even then all these schools (save for Kansas) are FB focused, even Baylor. They lost their top 2 draws and prob will lose a ton of recruiting potential in Texas.

Worse, the TV money prob drops from $35m to $15m. FB is very expensive to run. And since KSU makes 30m less than Kansas, that type of cut impacts them far more (margin pressure).

KSU is really f****, no matter what happens.

Baylor AD was funnier.

"Many of my colleagues around the country believe that the University of Texas created this situation because they think so highly of themselves....My humble opinion: I completely disagree. I think it's because they felt too little of themselves."

"I've rooted for OU in the CFP. I've rooted for Texas Tech and Kansas in the Final Four. And guess what, if UT had participated in any of those events, I would have rooted for them too."

A Big 12/Pac 12 “partnership”?

Link: https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...ic-partnership

Quote:

Bob Bowlsby and George Kliavkoff, the commissioners of the Big 12 and Pac-12 conferences, are meeting Tuesday to discuss the viability of a strategic partnership between the conferences, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

The meeting, which was first reported by The Athletic, does not signify an expectation for an official partnership to materialize, only that both commissioners are vetting options for how to move forward in the wake of Texas' and Oklahoma's decisions to leave the Big 12 for the SEC.

In an appearance before the Texas Senate on Tuesday, Bowlsby raised the possibility of the Big 12 partnering or merging with another conference and, at Pac-12 media day last week, Kliavkoff told ESPN he wouldn't rule on a scheduling alliance with another conference or expansion.

"We're, on purpose, not reaching out and trying to poach any schools, but my phone has blown up -- absolutely blown up over the last five days," Kliavkoff said. "And I've got lots and lots of calls from probably every school you would imagine and probably a few you'd be surprised by. We're listening to all inbound inquiries, because it seems like the smart thing to do."

Kliavkoff's stance is that Texas' and Oklahoma's departures strengthen the Pac-12's national footing as the only Power 5 conference with teams in the Pacific and Mountain time zones.

"I think, over time, the dominoes will start falling as a result of the move by Texas and Oklahoma," Kliavkoff said. "And we're not determined that we need to expand in order to thrive; we can thrive at 12. We don't understand the paradigm that if someone else has 16, you need to have 16. It just doesn't make sense."

Tuesday's meeting comes roughly a month after Kliavkoff started in his role with the Pac-12. He was hired to replace longtime commissioner Larry Scott in May after previously serving as the president of entertainment and sports at MGM Resorts International.

After hearing the interview, Vernon seems pretty plugged in to KU athletics.
