Congrats on keeping your fingers crossed that the Big Ten drops to option 14 of 15

Also, congrats on being mentioned in someones Pac 12 speculation.  Note though, we're listed too.

It wasn't in any certain order.  It was just a list.  Butthurt status noted, though.

In that case, I bet KU is top 3

Ben, you calling someone butthurt is like a respect calling someone dumb.

Butthurt is as butthurt does.  

[OregonSmock]

No particular order but they are still numbered?  That makes sense.

Yeah, Nebraska was option 11 out of 15, which is why they're currently in the Big 10.

Yeah Chicat, your butt hurt status has been noted.  It has been NOTED.

Manhattan should set up an Ellis Island-ish thing where they open the city to each and every Mexican that wants to move there.  Lots of Mexicans (like your bball team   ).  And when they come, instead of a giving them a cup of soup, you give them a color TV set.  That place would get huge.  Huge TV-owning population = huge TV market.  This is the only way to avoid the Missouri Valley.  Believe!!

i've got a better idea.  k-state should rename themselves University of California Manhattan, and try to trick the PAC into thinking we're one of them.  i think it will work.  step 2 will be to move the campus to california.

Would a dildo stop mentioning 13-1?

The PAC 10 won't take ku because it's the most racist school in country.

So...what's with you, buddy?  You have a picture of a KU guy under your name thing.  And then you have a reference to KU under that picture thing.  And then you have a quote from a KU fan under the space where your posts go.  Is 'Limestone' a reference to KU too?  But you are a KSU fan, right?  I find all of this weird.  Does anyone else find this weird?  I find it weird.  I mean, I kinda understand why you wouldn't like KU very much, but to form your identity around KU is pretty odd.  It makes you seem like a real dildo.  Just being honest.

I think that's more of an indication as to how reliable your source is.

[ChiComCat]

Here is my semi-educated guess as to who is on that list of 15 schools as well as the key questions that the Big Ten ought to be asking about them:

Congrats on being on some doodz semi-educated guess (not in any particular ordered) list then

[06wildcat]

Beems, can you provide a link to the KU game that got a 50-plus share in KC?

TIA

(3) If the Big Ten wants to make a ton of TV money, it will invite Nebraska – I’ve been increasingly become more and more supportive of Nebraska joining the Big Ten lately and Patrick’s analysis completely sealed it.  Nebraska’s small market be damned – the Husker fan base is as rabid as any other in the country and they will tune in anytime, anywhere.  (If you were wondering, the photo at the top of this post is evidence of how Nebraska fans completely took over South Bend a few years ago when they played Notre Dame.)  In fact, Patrick’s figures mean that we should remove Nebraska from the realm of “Well, they might be coming instead of Missouri” or “They’re a good back-up if Notre Dame doesn’t want to join” and put the Cornhuskers into the “lock” category instead.  I will now officially be shocked if Big Ten expansion occurs without Nebraska involved.

This is just too easy.

Shatel: KU better fit than Mizzou for Big Ten

By Tom Shatel
WORLD-HERALD COLUMNIST

Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany says the league won't be "reactive" if the Big 12 falls into the earth. I believe him. For now.

Delany won't act for two reasons. One, he's not in a hurry to become the first "super conference." Same with Mike Slive of the SEC. They'll sit back and let Larry Scott of the Pac-whatever carry around the baggage as the man who blew up the world. That's why there won't be super conferences anytime soon.

Second, the Big Ten is going to wait on Notre Dame. Will the Irish eventually come around to the Big Ten's way of thinking? If the only road to a national championship is being a member of a super conference, you bet your Golden Dome they will.

If 16 is the magic number, here's what the Big Ten should do: add Notre Dame, Boston College, Syracuse and Kansas.

BC gives you the New England market and helps coax the Irish in. Syracuse gives you New York (city and upstate), which Rutgers can't. KU?

Missouri is a name that still comes up with the Big Ten, and this time it's not the Tigers floating it. Still, I could see the Big Ten being more attracted to Kansas.

Sure, there's the Kansas City market. MU can't deliver it. KC is a KU town. A KU hoops town. Also, you bring the Hawkers in for the same reason the Huskers were invited: KU brings a national brand to the Big Ten Network, in hoops, of course. But hoops is a point of pride in the league. Add Kansas and Syracuse? That's the No. 1 league in college hoops.

The Big Ten won't go after Oklahoma, because it brings along Oklahoma State in its luggage. Texas? No TV rating is worth that trouble. And then there's the Longhorn Network. Is that thing on yet?

Yeah Beems, I would imagine it's pretty easy to mock someone for their lack of knowledge of an article they haven't read (and won't because it's by someone they've never heard of)


Good work, Beems. Keep it up.

Congrats on the forthcoming big 10 invite.

[jtksu]

Beems is going to laugh so hard at us when they get invited to the Big 10 and we end up in the MWC.  He's just gonna sit back and have a good chuckle.

If you scroll through that really quickly, it's like a Chum1 video.

You know you're hitting the bottom of the barrel when you're using a guy who writes a blog in Chicago as your back up.

Nice work.

Oh wait, Frank used "Patrick" a "veteran TV insider".

You know, if you've been in business for very long, you can find a number of "veteran insiders" to say just about anything you want them to say, or what you want to hear, about any industry you can think of.   I bet we could go out and find a whole bunch of un-named "veteran insiders" to say K-State would be a kick ass addition to any conference.

I know it hurts that KU is right on par with Notre Dame and Mizzou when it comes to adding additional conference revenue, but try not to be so damn butthurt about it, 'Pad.  Worst case scenario for K-State is the Big East or a newly formed version of the Big 12.  Keep your chin up.  

Oh, my...

1. I think BabyTears is on to something with his Mexican TV idea.  Innovative.

2. FakeSugarDick needs to stop posting asap.

Well, it appears the little validation engine that could has fully recharged his batteries. 

Until we see someone that isn't an "unnamed media insider" on some obscure blog confirms it, no one on the planet thinks ku is on par with Notre Dame in terms of media value.

From another "unnamed media insider":

A few years ago before they had ku, 610 tried to get K-State, because K-State's TSL (time spent listening) numbers blew away ku's.   According to this "unnamed media insider" ku's basketball only bandwagon fanbase provides more hits . . . but particularly during football , ku's TSL numbers suck ass.   Apparently media buyers put a lot of emphasis on TSL numbers, and in the KC market K-State's TSL numbers are very strong.  

Some other little tidbits gleaned from some simple Internet surfing.  Apparently KC is on a trendline to drop from the 31st to the 32nd TV market in the United States, surpassed by . . . Columbus, OH.   So congrats ku, for supposedly "dominating" a TV market on the decline.
