KU will be just fine. K-State better hope that KU brings them along for the ride.
(Iowa State, on the other hand, may well be up shits creek)

I think many Jayhawk fans are a little too optimistic. The SEC is clearly not an option. Some people seem to think ACC, but I doubt it. The B1G is the most likely BCS destination, but that is only if they ever decide to expand to 16. Everyone else in the world could go to 16 and they could easily say "eh, we're good".
The PAC 12 is iffy at best. If Texas goes independent, then KU is good to go, but how likely is that when a lot of people are expecting UND, with a market bigger than Texas, to eventually surrender? All things being equal, KU is probably third on their list, but a couple little brothers in OK and TX probably push them to 4th or 5th. Perhaps if OU/UT are desperate enough to get in, the PAC 12 could fold their arms and decide to be a hardass by flat-out saying no to TTech/OSU.
The most likely outcome would be a cobbled-together Big 12/Big East/MWC merger. There they would be waiting, perhaps for decades, for the B1G to sleepily decide maybe they could expand.
