Oklahoma and...... Kansas to the Big 10?

[handicappers]

Doesn't make fiscal sense to leave the money making machine that is the BIG12

Nebraska fans did LOL, I am sure OU fans would be the same.

It could be, because PSU had a 75 year old coach. Nebraska hadn't been Nebraska since the early years of Solich. Not to mention changing conferences changes your recruiting grounds. Changing conferences had not been the greatest move for traditional powers. Nebraska, Penn State, and Ark have not reached their historic levels since changing.

When Ohio State stops kicking your shit around, let us know.

Rember whn all the Nebraska fans said their team would NEVER leave for the B10?? NEVER!!! LOL. After they did leave we all heard how Nebraska would DOMINATE the B10 for years to come... Yeah not so much. It was the same story when the league got Penn State. Oh well I am sure that IF Oklahoma leaves the B12 for the B10 we will all be treated to the same story. Thatll be fun

the thing is oklahoma is not nebraska .

Amazing how much a missing comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence.

Cool, be interesting to see Oklahoma in the Big 12.

Sometimes, I am confused by posts.

Curious how you feel about the ACC. One program worth a watch and no conference network and its undefeated team had trouble staying in the top 4 last year to even make the playoff then got exposed as a fraud. They have recently won NC in football,basketball and baseball yet make less money than everyone else. Think maybe there may be some disgruntled folks in that crowd?

If you were solely talking football then the ACC would be in trouble. However the ACC is one of, if not the, best conferences in the country for CBB. There are really only 2 sports that matter and as a conference you really need to be dominant in at least 1 of them. The ACC has that, the B12 does not

I like Oklahoma, but Kansas is a waste of expansion. I'd rather have UConn if we're going to take schools that are good at anything but football. Their woman's basketball team wins the championship like year and the men's team good is also. Besides they actually play other sports which would be more content for the network.

Or we could try to pry Mizzou from the SEC... but please god, not Kansas.

UConn doesn't fit at all with educational requirements of the Big Ten. They are only a couple years removed from being post season ineligible.

True but neither does Nebraska or Oklahoma. I'm a big proponent of the educational requirement for expansion, but Kansas isn't that good of a school despite being AAU. I've never seen anything anywhere suggesting that it is a better university than UConn, but I have seen the reverse.

They were ineligible but Calhoun is gone. It's not like I'm saying they should get North Carolina. I was saying if we were going to take a basketball school it should be UConn before Kansas.

UConn was nothing before Calhoun, KU has a lot of tradition in basketball, more than any current program in the Big 10 save Indiana maybe, and even then I think KU's basketball history is better.

Fuck tradition. It's just antiquated bullshit fans of teams that are no longer relevant hold on to in order to prop up their programs when they're on hard times. I should know I'm a Michigan fan.

Here's the relevant history UConn has more overall titles, winning three since 2000 -- Kansas has one in the same time frame. Doesn't matter if Calhoun built it, it's here.

Will they ever win another one? You're being shortsighted. UConn has nothing but basketball. KU has had decent football teams, just not recently. They have a good baseball program and were the premiere track and field school of the Big 8...

Will Kansas?

Both schools have terrible football programs it's a wash really. Mangino isn't coming back.

UConn has more sports programs which is more content for B1G Network, they are in a wealthier area, and they have a better university.

New England is a Pro football area just like Kansas City is a pro ball town. Both only bring basketball if we're talking about sports value.

Titles, schmitles.

The reason you want Kansas over UConn is that Kansas delivers the Witchita and Topeka tlevision markets. All UConn brings is New York and Boston.

Connecticut has about 700,000 more population, not counting Kansas City, Mo Kansas fans.

Neither is high. To me it boils down to which is a more storied basketball program for BTN's national brand. That would be Kansas.
