KSU Does KSU NEED KU? - Page 3

Pitt Gorilla · 05-11-2010, 03:04 PM

I keep hearing/reading KU fans lamenting the fact that they will have to drag the "KSU anchor" in potential conference realignment. Does KSU really need Kansas to land in a good BCS conference? If the situation plays out, will Kansas really be held back by K-State?

I honestly have no idea. Kansas does have a rather small population to be supporting two large universities, and that can't help with television ratings (and the money that goes along with those for potential conferences). With football being an important part of the equation, would KSU be fine, or even better off, without Kansas?

frankly, if a major conference wants KU and not KSU, I'm not sure the KS BOR has the power to keep them together.

it would take a lawsuit or going private to go against the Board head-on. I think it's tied to state funding.

a little bribery behind the scenes might work

If the BOR's goal is to protect the interest of the state, I'm sure having one university in a BCS conference and one in a mid-major conference is preferable to having both in mid-majors. Their attempt to help would instead hurt everyone across the board.

If you think basketball KU is a big draw for any conference and KSU is a good draw. Football both teams have been uper middle road the past few years so niether team is a bad candidate for conferences. My question is why does MU want out of big 12 so bad ? It is one thing to run behind the texas schools but to also be behind the Kansas schools! Wish them well they are like the crack head that tells his parents if he moves away and finds new friends he will get clean. LMFAO

You are a true fan. Congrats. To think I had to wait for my team to win a NC to get a DVD.

I can't believe KSU fans actually give Reerun shit when he brings up this DVD garbage K-State is all about.
