Kansas' only problem was that they weren't located in Texas. We're not competing against Texas and OU. We're competing against OSU and Tech. What do those two schools bring that OU and Texas doesn't already deliver for someone? Kansas could give them a better national name, a superior basketball presence, and the Wichita-Topeka-half of KC market. Its not even really close, especially when it comes to Tech. But Tech is in Texas.
This is why I kept saying MU and KU should have been lobbying for inclusion. These deals are bigger than anything else in college sports. People making stupid comments like "Oh, the travel costs!" Really? At the 30-40 million a year, you couldn't make the travel work? People are brain dead around here at times.
