A few things here, I’m sure the Big12 commissioner would like to keep his job so he’s trying. Then after Texas and Oklahoma leave, half the leftovers are looking at joining the PAC, which would probably mean making less than what you would giving Texas and Oklahoma more to stay. Obviously two could get lucky and go to the B1G making more, and then something similar going to the ACC. Then there’s Baylor who’s probably left out.

KU brings nothing to the table. Football is the driving force of realignment & KU brings what 2-3 wins per year over mid-major schools. I’m sure the B1G can’t wait for that. I can see them cutting a deal with KU as a minor member of the conference. Maybe they’ll get 1/2 of what Nebraska got. No way the B1G is giving a moribund program like KU into their conference without saying you are a minor member. Don’t remember what kinda deal NU cut with the B1G but I know they weren’t a full fledge member like Missouri has always been in the SEC. |

B1G is getting the secondary schools at this point unless they wrangle Notre Dame. |

Football is absolutely the driving force. KU is in a weird position where they make enough money from basketball while also giving your “good teams” more wins in football. The W/L column matters the most. It’ll be interesting seeing how all these teams play out in the SEC. Obviously they will try to have most top teams play as little as possible, but when they do someone has to lose. Some years you might see the best team in the SEC with 2 or 3 losses instead of 1 or 0.

Pickings are slim after Kansas unless Notre Dame is finally receptive (and let’s be honest. ND is their top target, but Kansas is far more likely). But adding an inarguably elite all-time program in the No. 2 sport ain’t nothing. It’s certainly better than other options they’ve added. It certainly would give Kansas a chance to prove it doesn’t matter what conference they’re in, they’d dominate. I think they’d find that road much harder than in the Big 12. |

KU would lose their domination in the B1G & would probably not be considered an elite program anymore. |
