endgame

*crickets*

Additional Big10 Network subscribers are very important when considering additions to the conference.
Also important are a widely rounded out athletic program, academic and research standing, facilities, infrastructure and brand appeal.

Hot chicks and a mimimum of whiny-assed fans also factor in.


Research indicates that MU satisfies these requirements mor than KU would.

Or maybe the Big 10 thinks that Ian Kinsler, Anthony Peeler and Kellon Winslow are a better collection of historic players than Wilt Chamberlain, Gale Sayers, and Jim Ryun.

But I kind of doubt that.

Where's my $25,000??????? :D

Edited for truthfulness.

You can't separate market share from the equation; market share is one of the key factors. I'm sorry that KU fans are facing conference limbo, I can see this isn't sittint well with some KY people.
I don't mean to offen you, I'm looking at this from a Big10 point of view. It feels very strange to be letting any other schools in and I'm very interested in maintaining the look and feel of the conference.
Hell I still look at Penn State as the new kid on the block and deep down don't truly see them as Big 10.

Well in this years US and World Report ranked the schools like this:

96. University of Kansas
96. University of Nebraska

102. University of Missouri

So you're wrong. Try again.

It's number of cable subscribers. That's all. Where did you go to school? You should try and get your money back.

:D KU butthurt coming out huge. The coming shake is going to change things but I think it will end up better for most. KU doesn't need the Big10 or any power conference for that matter. They will get their invite in March every year and then conference doesn't matter.

STFU :)

When you're trying to put together a credible football program, conference matters.

:D I'm an Iowa Hawkeye, you know, from that conference that doesn't want you.

This whole left-home-on-friday-night thing is getting to some of you. Why do you take it so personal? It's just business.

Absolutely. Without a power conference a football program is pretty much dead before it starts. Thus the coming conference expansions.

Dude you are arguing with a dumbass who thinks a) college basketball makes more money than college football and b) said the MWC would be better for KU than the Big Ten.

So call Iowa and ask them to refund you.

How many times do I have to repeat this? I don't want KU to go to the Big 10. Nor do I ever expect them to be asked.

Stop inventing complaints to make your argument make sense.

You sound reeruned when you do that.

just sayin

For athletic success and provided the MWC is elevated to BCS status then yes, KU will find more success in the MWC.

What would you want them to be Iowa? Never coming close to winning anything that doesn't involve two boys grouping each other while wearing tights?
