Let's talk about the Big 12

Love how Beems starts a KU validation thread here and then claims we are all butthurt.

Predictable.

When we add 2 more schools I could care less about their basketball prowess

That's what I'm concerned about.  The Big 12 needs a program like Louisville or Memphis to challenge KU.  Football is a dying sport and has already maxed out its profitability.  Basketball is a much more popular sport internationally and is just going to get bigger.

BITB. My god.

I think you’re actually partially correct, imo.  Football will begin to reach a ceiling shortly, with “gains” being modest in the future (relatively speaking).  Basketball however, from a regular season standpoint, still isn’t maximizing its potential.  With some vision by a conference, it could. 

The Big East failed with this vision, no?

They didn't have KU.

That was such an obvious troll, I think it qualifies as WITB.

We probably need to decide now if we will accept or decline our future CIT invites.

UNI had a fun little ride in the CIT this year. Damn Weber State. I've always been more of a Drake guy anyway I guess.

Beems's "football is dying" post is definitely something to think about. Would you let your kids play competitive football as we learn more about concussions sustained playing football and their long term effects? Many, many more parents will not let their kids play football in the future, and it will impact the game.

I don't think you'll see the effects on the business of college sports in the near future, but think it's something worth thinking about and planning for.

I think technology advances in football safety will come quickly enough.  There is a lot of money behind the sport and whoever comes up with the right technology first will become ridiculously rich.

Maybe. But it isn't like concussions are a new thing, and now the game is arguably the most dangerous it's ever been. And how long will it take to trickle the technology down to youth? And maybe the damage has already been done. Like I said, something to think about.

Yeah, football is going to dry up and blow away.

when former athletes sue universities, things are going to get interesting.

I would have to assume there are any number of liability papers you are signing when you accept a Scholly
