I do hope KU lands on their feet and it would be cool if they make it to the B1G, I just don't see what that conference gains from KU joining.

KU brings nothing to the table.
Football is the driving force of realignment & KU brings what 2-3 wins per year over mid-major schools. I’m sure the B1G can’t wait for that. I can see them cutting a deal with KU as a minor member of the conference. Maybe they’ll get 1/2 of what Nebraska got. No way the B1G is giving a moribund program like KU into their conference without saying you are a minor member.
Don’t remember what kinda deal NU cut with the B1G but I know they weren’t a full fledge member like Missouri has always been in the SEC.
