Kansas athletic department revenue is more than almost any other team in the Pac 10, and a Top 4 in the Big 12. I think it's comically when people act like KU isn't relevant just because they hate them so much.

I appreciate your optimism, but it just isn't what is driving this. We might get a pity bid from the Big 10 or even the SEC, but I don't think its likely. It has nothing to do with excellence. Its like MLB now, and to tell you the truth, I think I would feel a little dirty to accept these pity bids. Regionalism and rivalries, the thing that really makes college sports special means nothing to feed the football machine, and if they destroy the NCAA Tournament in the process of that, they don't care. The MWC may actually gain BCS status, but it won't be the same. I hope they enjoy their money.
