KU brings a new media market and while that matters less now, it does matter. And they have a top 5 pedigree in CBB.
IF this happened, and it would be a BIG if (I’m pretty confident this is a negotiating tactic, and as much as I hate to say it, I have much more confidence in our current Commish than I had in Beebe), the P5 conference we would be most attractive to would be the Pac12.

Also, it’s cute you guys think the Big Ten wouldn’t bring in KU. They’re not looking for more contenders, they’re looking for more whipping boys for schools like OSU, Michigan and Penn State.
PAC 12 would be interesting at least for a bit. I'd go to some of those road games on the coast.
Frankly I will believe this whole **** when I see it. We will not get kicked to the curb.
Baylor, Kansas St, Oklahoma St, and TCU all have better winning % the last decade than Texas. I get they are a brand(or at least their idiotic fans think they are) but they aren't a powerhouse in either sport by any means. They are barely above .500 the last decade.
In fact they are barely above West Virginia for 6th place since the realignment last time.
I hope I’m wrong and the B1G extends us an invitation. It’s the best place for us, for sure. Just not sure we add enough to warrant dividing their pie even further.
Then what does? What’s going to make ISU be taken over KU for the Big Ten?
Hell yeah!!!! Bring on Gonzaga and Houston for basketball. TJ can handle 8 games a year against Top 10 programs. Lol
Especially when talking about the state of Kansas, and ESPECIALLY knowing that the only city worth a damn in Kansas is actually in missouri and doesn’t give a **** about Kansas football.
And if you don’t have revenue from a TV contract to pay a Top 10 coach $4 million plus then you aren’t retaining that coach. You don’t comprehend the difference in revenue from the Big 12 to whatever the hell you are cobbling together. It will be a difference of $25 million dollars per year.
Good grief just by pass the NCAA, combine the B12, SEC, and PAC12 and set it up like the NFL.
Sounds like a done deal. The one saving grace here is this is happening quickly and not drug out over months and years. Minimizing agony.

Texas/OU could set off realignment dominoes as early as next week
Orangebloods publisher Geoff Ketchum and I have checked in with multiple sources on Wednesday and asked about Texas’
I was skeptical this was real when the story first broke, but I’m pretty sure it is now. Not saying it’s a done deal, but the non-denials by both Texas and OU when this story has already become a circus is telling. I suppose it’s possible that this is a negotiating tactic to get Fox to pony up, or maybe exploring their options while threatening fox to see what happens.
