2. football ... KU is a low level football program but has a top notch basketball program, with a storied history, to offset the football weakness. You add another school to that equation and it's screwed.
KU barely has enough to get into a BCS level conference
KSU isn't a BCS conference level school (financially)
add those 2 schools together and neither get in
If the Big 12 implodes then KSU is going to a mid-tier conference one way or another. The only thing is whether they drag KU down with them.

Even if KSU didnt exist, KU would not be getting into the Big 10. No football and no major media market. Basketball is nice but it's not on the same planet as football in terms of monetary value for the conference.
