KSU football has sucked since Bill Snyder left and didn't stop sucking until Bill Snyder returned.
joke all you want ... truth is truth
basketball KU > KSU
t.v. market KU > KSU
academically KU > KSU
football KU = KSU (not historically, but right now. Yes, KSU seems to be trending up and KU seems to be trending down)
for a BCS conference, KU is a crown jewel in Basketball and middle of the road school to beat upon in football. Middle ground t.v. market and solid academically.
in Bill Snyders prime he brought KSU to the BCS level in football but beyond that KSU just doesn't make it to a BCS level in anything.

Look, I can't maintain this discussion with you if you can't divorce yourself of this notion that basketball matters in this equation. If you can, then:
TV Market: Equal
Academically: KU, but ONLY because you have a Law School and Med School - beyond that, there is NOTHING superior about your academic status compared to KSU's relative to the individual Colleges themselves. When you want a top of the line Engineer, Architect or Bus grad, you go to KSU over KU. When you want a philanthropic Liberal Arts blowhard, you go to larryville
Football: We've had more recent success, but I'd say historically equal.
Nobody gives two shits about KU Football other than KU fans. Deal with it.
