Title: Kansas State Joining The Valley in Men's Basketball
Post by: Pete on June 14, 2012, 10:19:43 AM
I really hope there is some truth to the grumblings of us joining the Missouri Valley for Men's basketball, with Notre Dame taking our spot in the Big 12 for Men's basketball.

It's a great fit for HCBW.  I, for one, think it would be great seeing HCBW battle it out with McD's boy's year in and year out.  It's a purer form of basketball...not just a bunch of "running and gunning" and I think that most Kansas State fans will really come to cherish that.

Frankly, I think our recruiting would really pick up as well.  Maybe not in terms of "stars" or "rankings" from the so-called recruiting experts, but definitely in terms of guys who fit the system and will work hard and buy in.

I'm for it.

Yep, the difference between so-called major college basketball and so-called mid-major college basketball is negligible these days as evidenced year in and year out by the NCAA tournament. Joining the Valley would be a lateral move at worst.

obviously the Big 12 is the second best football conference.  but, let's be honest, the Big 12 is a crap basketball conference.  the amount of attention paid to hoops is negligable.  the valley is at least equal to it on a purely basketball basis.

Nailed it.

This also has to be why Currie is pushing so hard to get us into The Valley for men's basketball.  Personally, I hope women's basketball lands there, but I know there will be quite a few people up in arms if we don't get to play Baylor any longer.  Maybe a non-con game?  :dunno:

i've always felt there is more passion in the valley anyway. plus, the big 12 has always lacked a big name basketball program and i think Creighton would fill that void.

You bet.

Listen folks, as long as Big 12 continues to foster acceptance of "partial membership" with the courtship of Notre Dame, this is not going to go away.

Folks in the know, know that we can have our cake and eat it too.  Keeping football and Olympic sports (plus Equestrian) in the Big 12 will ensure the big payday from the TV deal, while placing Men's Basketball in the Missouri Valley allows us to more closely align with our fanbase.  Some were surprised by the oscar Weber hire, and oscar's subsequent re-assembling of his former staffer with DEEP Valley experience....but it was done with a purpose.

Don't be surprised if in two years we are all partying at Laclede's Landing in preparation of Arch Madness!

Yep.  There's going to be egg on a LOT of faces when this all plays out, mine included.  I didn't see it coming.  Count me as "in" on this, however....and yes the checkbook will be ready!

when Self bails for OKie State after this season and Little Bro follows us to MVC, new HC Doc Sadler and co. will certainly give us a run for our money.

Fellas, we are probably on the cusp of a Dana Altman-esque domination of the MVC with the staff we have assembled here.

You take a look at the Valley footprint, and it's obviously the sweet spot for HCBW's recruiting.  Look, Texas recruiting is just not going to work for us...we all know that.

I think what you are touching on here, and I agree by the way, is that there are TONS of benefits to this move that many in the public (and media, LOL) are not considering (yet).

For example, don't think for a second that it's gone unnoticed by the stakeholders at KSU that Mitch Holthus does the the majority of TV broadcasts for the Valley.  That's a HUGE bonus for most of our constituency.  HUGE.

some part or all of this should make it to the word...



"I'll explain what they do to the best of my ability. The premise of what they do is somewhat similar to a Christopher Guest mockumentary or the Da Ali G Show in the sense that they say the most ridiculous things as seriously as possible. The primary difference is they use a message board as their medium instead of film or television. Consequently, many of their posts are baited traps for fans of other schools who are unaware of the joke being played on them. "
