80% of my shirts are UNI shirts.

For this single upcoming year, this would be very, very arguable. On the whole, there is no real comparison between the programs, I agree.

Nah, academic schools are the ones that don't give out scholarships to athletes for being physically gifted.

I wasn't talking to you when I said that.

Here I thought I was mocking the hyper-focus that KU fans place on basketball when the potential move for Mizzou is about so much more than a single sport or even sport more generally.

exactly it is more about academics than sports and apparently according to the Big Ten Missouri is better than KU. Honestly is there a big 12 school that is worse academically besides maybe OSU and ISU?

Damn. Sooooooo close.

I heard that the Big 10 wanted them if they could just make the Sweet 16 in basketball or finish in the to 10 in the conference in football.

I believe he is pointing out that college football generates a lot more revenue than basketball does.

I'll give you credit for not jumping completely off the cliff then.

If you had suggested otherwise, your sanity would have come into question.

Kansas State. Texas Tech.

And, to be honest, Mizzou, Kansas, and Nebraska are indeed comparable academic institutions, but there is a difference. And I listed them in top-down order.

Unless you get a game changer like Beasley/Rose/Wall/Durant, getting a top 10-15 recruit won't do that much to your team overall in their first year.

Lots of kansas fans don't really care about KU's academics because they are so well known and popular nationally, like North Carolina and Duke. Problem is this move is all about who is better academically and tv markets and not which school's team was better last year.
