![]() Memphis has to be psyched about these machinations. I'd have to imagine they'll end up in a better situation than CUSA when all of this is said and done.
I'm surprised the Texas schools are going to be allowed to leave the Big 12 without Baylor. Very surprised.

![]() If Kansas is forced to play in the Mountain West in basketball they will have a hard time keep their place on the national scene. MW has a bad tv contract (cstv- which virtually no one gets), Kansas will now have to play 2 games a year against Air Force, TCU, SD State, Colorado State, Wyoming, etc.
While they can still play a tough out of conference schedule, they are going to be a tough sell to A level recruits who want to play on the big stage. It isn't as though they will fall off the face of the earth but the revenues will surely be slashed and they may not be able to afford paying guys like Self the amount of money that he makes. |

![]() I think the scenario Cannon is describing would happen over the course of like 50 years. Kansas has probably THE biggest college hoops alumni fanbase outside of Carolina maybe, and those fools travel. Kansas could play the sisters of the poor for years on end and still get the Collisons and Rushes and Collins of the world to come there. Besides, is playing Air Force, San Diego State, and Wyoming really any worse than the usual slate of Iowa State, Nebraska, and Colorado? I'd argue those three teams in particular are actually better.

![]() How can it be called PAC with those teams?
Why don't they just make 4 super conferences and name them after the Beatles? |

![]() Why would you want to start a game before 9:00 a.m. Central time?

Perhaps what Kansas would do is become an Independent in mens basketball like Notre Dame, make their own tv deal and play a national schedule? |

![]() The Fox contract runs out which is why the Pac 10 is moving so swiftly. The vast majority of UCLA's best players the last 10 years are from Southern CA. That is not a coincidence.

![]() I'm not missing any point. I get it's about money. I understand that is why Kansas and Missouri are getting left behind on the football side. That being said, it's absolutely foolish to suggest that Kansas and Missouri and those couple other schools are going to end up in a conference that doesn't have a major television package when all of this is said and done.
