No chance.

I honestly don't believe any basketball program could thrive as an independant. If one did, it would have to be one of the East Coast schools that exists in stronger basketball territory.

KU is in flyover country. For all the yap about national recognition, they're still in the midwest. They'll never get the media backing and television deal they'd need to make it as an independant.

There's no way KU would continue to thrive as an independant in basketball.
