I fully recognize this, as a KSU fan, and realize we might just be ****ed. However, it's not because of ku, their lack of appeal, and your shitty football history. It's because of KSU's shitty football history and our lack of National Football appeal. We are in the in a similar boat, but KSU isn't manning this Titanic. Your football program (or lack thereof) and lack of a TV market have steered you into this iceberg in the same way KSU will hit that same iceberg.
And laugh out loud at your KSU isn't a BCS conference level school comment. Again, this is football related, not basketball. Therefore, your suck is = to our suck  |
whatever ...
KU is a Nationally relevant Basketball program ... top 5 all-time. It brings national exposure to the NCAA tourney.
Basketball IS relevant financially ... just not as much as football.
Besides ... KU does have a decent football program. It's been better than KSU in recent years.
Academically KU is also a solid school
KU's television market doesn't suck ... it's just not great
KU is marginally qualified in just about every category but not enough to have any other "issues" and still make it.
laugh all you want but if the Big 12 really does implode KSU is mid conference bound ... period. KU has an outside shot if they can get the board of regents to split KU/KSU.
