Can college football launch a relegation system?
Because, man, the Kansas Jayhawks have been bad.
Tim Layden of Sports Illustrated reported that Charlie Weis promised a "decided schematic advantage" when he arrived at Notre Dame in 2005, and he ostensibly brought the same type of confidence to Lawrence. But that "advantage" has not translated onto the field, and dating back to the end of the Mark Mangino era, KU has dropped 40 of its last 43 conference games.
Yuck.
And listen, guys, I know that this is not exceptionally practical. Kansas is the lifeblood of Big 12 basketball and the league could not afford to lose it for that and a thousand other reasons. I understand.
But in the context of this article, which deals strictly with football programs that need a change of scenery, Kansas was an obvious choice. Its roster would fit in better with the Mountain West.
