Kansas, UNC, Kentucky, and to a somewhat lesser extent for a variety of reasons, UCLA and Duke, kind of transcend conference when it comes to college basketball.

Do you understand that they were on because their conference had a deal with ESPN, not because ESPN decided to show them? They may be going to a conference with a deal with CSTV. Have you ever once seen a game on CSTV? Remember last year when TCU football was undefeated and ranked in the top 5? Did you remember seeing any of their games? Probably not because they were on CSTV which virtually no one gets because it requires a separate subscription on most cable deals.
The world changes and like it or not this is a kick in the balls to Kansas basketball. It isn't like they are going to become terrible but they are certainly going to be negatively impacted
