it would, as would be giving all that money to a city and state not affiliated otherwise with the conference. I bet having the tourney in Vegas would be beneficial for attendance too...but it isn't gonna happen.

OKC is only five hours away. ![]() Pleeeeeeeeeaassssseeeee stay!!! ![]() Really though, it's not like it's KCMO's decision... I get the logic of not wanting a Big 12 event in an SEC state, but like it's been said, the Big 12 would be cutting off its nose to spite its face. If they have events in KCMO, they could at least pretend that it's more of a Big 12 market, while the SEC events stay in the Southeast.

There's no doubt it won't be as good, but there's no sense in continuing to hold it in a state that doesn't have a conference member. Nebraska is gone, MU may be. OKC really isn't that much futher, you can make it in under a day. Further for ISU, but what isn't? I feel bad for KC, but if the state school has little regard for those traditions and histories, why should the conference it was once a member of continue them? I mean, if MU doesn't see the Big XII as the future they want to hold, then KC, MO and St. Louis will have to look south with their school.

As far as business decisions go, KC still likely has more fans of Big XII teams than any city outside of Texas. If they pull the tourney out of KC, they are ceding the town to the SEC.
KU gains a lot of young fans when they bring their road show to KC. Not anymore it seems.

When the drama cloud settles, I'd be willing to bet that Sprint Center will still be hosting the basketball tournament. And everything will be OK. Because it's not just a revenue boost for the state of Missouri. I know quite a few people who go in for the tournament and stay in Overland Park. |

I've been to OKC Bricktown. If they decide to settle in there and give them a chance to make it there own, it could still be a great event. It will never be KC, but, that's one of the traditions that gets tossed aside in these 100 year decisions.

Because he's scared that their departure will further destabilize the conference, thus jeopardizing the standing of the proud purple.

Y'know - I've always thought in relation to sports, if other fans are hating on your team, it means you're doing something right.
The ridiculous predictions (i.e. Mizzou will be the Iowa State of the SEC) & the amount of venom and anger being spewed towards Mizzou reinforces the thought we're 100% making the correct move here. |

Holy shit, you're trying way too hard. The fans have no say in this.
