Some day typical ku fan is going to realize that in the Big 12, particularly in the original Big 12 conference that winning in football with consistency was (and still is) hard. For many schools in the original (and even the current) not being good at basketball only moved the needle for a small group of their respective fan bases. Not being good at football was unacceptable across the entirety of most fan bases in the conference. At several schools, not being good at baseball was a bigger deal than being bad at basketball.
