Let's just say it would be an interesting topic to inquire about when the current numbers get released.
This is from the thread where the Michigan fan asked if they could lose KSU and go to the Big 10.QuoteDoes it ever occur to you in that little head of yours that there is a reason that KU was at least mentioned in the rumors, and speculations? The fact that KU was tied with UT to the ACC, or to OU/OSU to the PAC. Or even with MU to the big 10. There is a reason for that. No one wants KSU. No matter how relevant you think you are in realignment, KU is viewed at least as the flagship university and is at least thought of for consideration when adding members.The only time KSU is thought of is when the question is asked if KU would be forced to drag along KSU with it.QuoteAnd this is part of the problem. If KSU had not tagged along and had been in the MVC where they belong all this time, a much larger % of sports fans in Kansas would be pro KU right now. Even many KSU fans would also follow and route for KU similar to how we have WSU/KU fans. KU would be viewed as having basically 100% market share of Kansas the way Neb and MU have 100% of their states. People say KU would be in a much better spot if the state had not chosen to form 2 schools, but the real mistake was made when we let them tag along into the old big 6 and then the conference never decided to give them the boot later. If the big 12 does indeed fall apart, and we get an invite to the big 10, it will be an great opportunity to correct this mistake.And my personal favorite from the thread:QuoteMy lord KSU fans are in denial. KU is the flagship school. Get over it. And thanks for the kind words Michigan fan

Meanwhile, flagship sinking: http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2011/sep/27/ku-officials-say-theyre-concerned-about-declining-/And from a story in the Topeka CJ: Kansas State University had a 1.2 percent increase in students with a total of 23,863 while The University of Kansas saw a 3.1 decrease at the school's Lawrence campus for a total of 25,448 students.It's only a matter of time.
I'd love to see KY join the Big12. The basketball thing is obvious, but their football program has been on an uptrend for a number of years now. Great value and would be an exchange rate w/SEC instead of them cherry picking us like vultures.I like that trade.WVU would be competitive and increase our eastern view, but they need to keep their snakes at home. Doubt they would be interested in traveling to BYU, and vice versa.
My choice is Tressel.
I don't have numbers to back this up but it seems like KU, whether good or bad, is a good draw on TV.

After Missouri is SEC #14, is KU interested in being SEC #15? Yes or no?Why?

K-state is becoming more homosexual as every day passed. last week there was an event for students to come out of the closet. the libraries have bought an exceptional amount of gay pride books in the last month. they are hosting an actor who plays the part a flaming happily homosexual married man, and last but not least EMAW to EPAW, no k-state fan is allowed to talk crap on KU's liberal attitude.

We need a quality win to be considered for a bowl even if we're eligible. A win against KSU would definitely do the trick, also maybe A&M. But I think KU NEEDS to beat KState to go to a bowl. --------------------Why do KState graduates hang their degrees from the rear mirror? To prove their handicap tags.

Sundance Kid sounds like a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)'s name.
