Academic years that MU has been to a bowl and made the NCAA Tournament (which was the topic of conversation, Bookcat):
1979-1980
1980-1981
1981-1982
1998-1999
So four times. ku has pulled off this feat five times in just the last 16 years. KSU has done it only once ('95-'96) I believe. That is not good.
My point stands, ku currently has and has had a better combination of football and basketball than MU (and KSU obviously).
