Nebraska probably wants KU so they can have an easy trip to beat an easy opponent. Which is why the Nebraska paper reported it first. But I doubt the rest of the big 10 would want KU.

[Cartierfor3]

Wait what?

What would it take for Mizzou to go to the big 10?  I mean, if the big 10 offered them spot 15 or 16, would they do it?  I think they might.

I think so.  Their fans seemed to press the point about not needing to be handcuffed with a GOR to maintain stability.

Mike Slive would put a pretty red bow on them and send Delany a meat and cheese basket thanking him for taking them off of his hands.

KU is not leaving. Don't be stupid.

If the Big 10 goes after KU, the Big 12 should waive the GOR and let them leave with no fee at all. KU leaving would be good for the Big 12. Could you imagine a conference where the worst football team was West Virginia?

[scottwildcat]

I honestly couldn't care less if KU left for the big 10, the "rivalry" isn't really worth anything except for basketball student attendance and we are 3 years from KU taking over our arena like they used to for Nebrasketball anyways. GTFO KU

We just need to find a way to get rid of ISU, and this conference could reach superconference status with only 8 teams. Just imagine adding Clemson and FSU then.

KU would go to the big 10 if Mizzou was going, too.

A bunch of good teams beating each other is the exact opposite of what we want...See the SEC for the model of how to become a "Super Conferece". We need more puds.

Half good teams + half shitty teams + don't let good teams all play each other = omfg this conference is soooo good they have 6 teams with 2 losses or less!@#!@3

Because the Big Ten would really need the Topeka and Wichita markets they were sorely coveting after Mizzou locked up KC and St. Louis.

Isn't the playoff committee going to use some system similar to RPI, though? As a fan, I like seeing the cats play and beat ranked teams. Beating shitty teams like Kansas and Iowa State does absolutely nothing for me.

Blah, blah...more conference expansion...blah, blah...don't want to go past 16...blah blah.

Kind of says that the Big Ten may be open to a couple more teams, but that's kind of implied.  He doesn't implicitly say that.

If the SEC stays at 14, I'd like to go up to 14, or if they go to 16, I'd like to as well for the simple fact that we'd probably have a lot of overlapping teams, and those that don't overlap should just play each other every year as a non-con game.

I mean, hey, if we really took some of the best football teams in the ACC, we'd definitely be the second best conference.  Why not just further that narrative by really going all in with the SEC?

That "rivalry" might be worth it. 

To clarify what I was saying:

1) If Mizzou was headed to the big 10, and...
2) big 10 asked KU to join the big 10, then...
3) KU would join the big 10, as in...
4) The KS BOR wouldn't be able to stop them.

Just heard today that Georgia & 'Bama haven't played eachother since '08?!

Imagine if the BXII was ran that way & we hadn't played Texas in 4 years! I mean, it would never happen since we're their biggest rival & all, but just don't seem right.

We are already the best conference. Replacing KU with FSU would only widen the gap. The media will get off the SEC's nuts when Notre Dame embarrasses their champ in 6 weeks.

When are you all going to realize that not losing is much more important to teams in a BCS conference than wins against "quality" opponents. Scheduling pud OOC games is crucial to this - see all SEC schools.

It is yet to be seen how the playoff teams will be selected. I'm against restructuring a conference based upon a system that is going to die after next year.

You're wrong for two reasons:

1)  Notre Dame will embarrass nobody with a .500 or better record.
2)  ESPN will never fall out of love with the SEC.

I don't think I like round robin.  The whole "one true champion" thing is bullshit.

I like it because we play 4 Texas teams, including UT, every season. This should help greatly when we get a new coach and he actually has to recruit players that other FBS schools want.
