KU may be without major conference
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- For the Kansas Jayhawks and their proud basketball heritage, all this could not be more demeaning.
All of a sudden, Kansas' status as a major player in college athletics has been placed in the hands of Nebraska and -- humiliation of humiliations -- archrival Missouri.
While those two decide whether to abandon the Big 12 for the more lucrative Big Ten, Kansas sits and sweats. A pullout by the Huskers and Tigers could result in the collapse of the Big 12 and strip Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State of the safety and privileges of membership in a Bowl Championship Series conference.
What about the Jayhawks' attractive basketball program, with three national championships |
3 National Championships? You mean only Kansas counts the Helms championships as actual championships? This can't be. I mean, yes, the Helms foundation wasn't even created until 2 decades after the 1922 and 1923 seasons, and yes, subsequent analysis of the 1921-22 season showed that Missouri, not Kansas, would have won the championship based on the baseline information that the Helms foundation used to determine a champion, but I digress...
