If KU goes B1G and we don’t, it tells me that the West is scared of us. They’re already starting to lose the recruiting battles. Do you really think they want CMC in their conference?

(On the other hand, PLEASE let us in B1G. We promise not to be too good.) ;)

KU makes zero sense from a football perspective, the Big10 would get more viewers watching Bob Ross paint than KU football. It not like the KU v Nebraska rivalry was huge. It also further weakens the Big10 West. But maybe that changes soon anyway.

But if the Big10's goal is to get to 18-22 teams it makes a bunch of sense. KU is a top 5 basketball brand and playing 10-15 games on the Big10 Network might be tremendously valuable for a conference with a linear network. Also could mean a lot to FOX's basketball programming if they go all in on Big10 and replace ESPN's media rights.

If the Big10's first move is KU, that tells me they have at least a couple ACC or PAC12 big dogs from a football standpoint about ready to join also.
If the KU thing has legs then ISU is also in the mix. Silence is Golden.

They left out the best part - the only D1 football school with a track around their field.

I don’t understand why the SEC hasn’t offered KU based on this fact alone. How is this possible!?!?

KU actually built one of the best track facilities in the country 7 years ago and finally removed that track from Memorial. Still one of the worst stadiums standing.

I disagree. They now have an artificial turf track around the football field.

I just looked up the wiki article on it - I'm surprised by all the small projects. That thing needs bulldozed and started over. It's easily the worst CFB stadium I've been to (even worse than the liberty bowl).
