There was an NBC rumor link also stating KU is expected to get an invite if A&M either opts for the SEC or can't make up its mind. Keegan at the LJW is saying Stanford is lobbying for Kansas' inclusion.
I really hate seeing the breakup of the rivalries with K-State and Mizzou but it is a different world now. Can you imagine if all three teams end up in different conferences? I can bet who the Sprint Center is inviting every year for their holiday basketball classic!
I think A&M is leaning towards the SEC and it makes a lot of sense for them to do so. The SEC desperately wants a presence in the Texas market. A&M benefits in going to an established league (with an established contract) and has a better tool to recruit against Texas with: a different conference. Right now, most Texas players who want to play SEC go to LSU, but a Texas school in the SEC gives Texas recruits a choice of major conferences as well as schools.
I admit my rooting for the SEC here is very selfish, but right now, its the closest I have seen to a light at the end of the tunnel for KU.
