I think KU and KSU are stronger with one set of Regents governing them and have one strong position i.e. KU AND KSU WILL STICK TOGETHER....all the other big 12 schools have individual Regents goverening them and so 10 schools have 10 different Regents that delute their power....the state of Kansas is the only state that only has one Board of Regents to govern all of our state schools...we govern KU, KSU, WSU, ESU, FHSU and PSU..plus we also coordinate Washburn and all state Community Colleges and Tech Schools...our state is very unique in having ONE VOICE for education..and one voice for our 6 Athletic Dept's...............(I think Nebraska will stay in the big 12)....

Sorry, guys, I just bolded the only part of this that matters.

Dan Lykins says we're staying together forever.  And that's all I need.

if ku and all of their legal problems get in the way of us getting an mwc invite, i am going to be absolutely livid. 

[catzacker]

There is nothing holding the two programs together.  The BOR has no say.  If KU wants to go to the Big 10 the only thing stopping them is the Big 10 even knowing who they are. 

Just so we are clear....are you calling Dan Lykins a liar? 

I am.

Agreed.  If we have a chance to go mid major and we can't because of them, there's going to be some anger.

At the end of the day, I trust Dan Lykins though.  He says that if the schools go separate ways the Board of Regents will have "deluted" (sic) power and we can't have that.  We just can't.

[steve dave]

What is the phog's excuse now that they can't claim we are holding them back?   

[Trim]

Lykins' office is an EMAW explosion.  It's like a real-life version of the football poster.

What is the phog's excuse now that they can't claim we are holding them back?  

they aren't in excuse making mode, yet.

Since I'm guessing you can't read phog.net:

I am perfectly capable of admitting that none of us have a clue whether or not KU is being seriously considered by anyone.  I would suspect that Lew has planted KU as a part of many possible outcomes in several conference's minds.  I can see legitimate arguments for KU in the Big10, Pac10, and SEC depending on how things play out.  Fo rinstance, if the Big10 goes to 16 teams, but only takes 2 Big East teams, then KU could be a good 16th team.  If the Pac10 tells Baylor, Tech or OSU "no thanks" then KU could slide in there rather easily.  If the SEC goes to 16 and is unable to pry some east coast football schools, they may look to KU and one or two other BigXII schools because we can boost some basketball revenue and TV income when the football season is over.

But I am also going to just assume that Rusty doesn't have JayhawkSlant Premium.

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the non-rival you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Always keep in mind that the Slanttards were the ones putting together the vast conspiracy and factual reality (in their world) that K-State was going to get "hammered" by the NCAA that parrot boy Bentard ran with at the former site.

Plus, given the Big 10's current bag of riches, ESPN/media darling programs etc. etc.  All ku basketball does is give them even more good matchups, but that in and of itself isn't going to cause any TV executive to pull out the checkbook and write the Big 10 yet another huge check.   But as always Hoax way over values everything related to ku . . . he can't help it though, it is tardville after all.  

The poor kid is going to be absolutely crushed if ku gets "left out".

What a bunch of nancies!

Cry! Cry! Cry!  Oh me oh my, Texas won't be there to help us wah wah wah!  If it wasn't for the purple trim, I would have never known I was on a "supposed" K-State message board.  When did our fan base become a sniveling welfare queen demanding handouts from the other Big XII schools?  Anyone with half a brain could see this break up of the Big XII coming a mile away.  I have been saying this would happen for years, but every time I would bring it up, someone would stick their head in the sand and sing "everything will be fine, Texas loves us and has our best interests in mind..."  Its just so appropriate given the times we live in.  People with their grubby hands out wanting to continually suckle on the governments teat.  Well just like the leeches who depend on The State to provide for them eventually become slaves to The State, you suck ups to Texas and ESPN have made KSU a slave.  A slave to Texas who no longer understands how to stand on their own.  KSU will be fine by itself, sure it might sting for a while to not get those free checks in the mail, but learning how to cope independent of Mommy and Daddy Longhorn will only make us stronger. 

Let Texas go!  Let Nebraska and Missouri go.  Who needs them?  If you think we need them then YOU are the reason we are even in this position.   YOU are the same person who forced out Bill to get something newer and shinier.  Look where that got us!  If LHC Bill Snyder was our coach for the last 5 years there would be NO QUESTION we would be included in any other conference's expansion plan.  Mr "Affirmative Action" Tim Weiser put us here! 

And if you think Frank Martins thugball team is going to get us anywhere you're crazy.  A I predicted long ago, this program is falling apart at the seams.  As soon as the hard workers in the program left our recruiting tanked.  Frank and Delante are getting fat on KSU money doing nothing.  KSU basketball will never save us.  Wake up sleepers.

We should have been prepared for this long ago.  That this takes some of you "experts" by surprise is hilarious.

I was an expert who predicted this a long time ago . . .   

[sonofdaxjones]

Just trying some stuff on for size:

WV
Pitt
UConn
Louisville
Iowa State
ku
K-State
Cinncy 


or . . .

SEC East

Florida
South Carolina
Georgia
Auburn
Alabama
Mississippi
Mississippi State
Tennessee

SEC West

LSU
Arkansas
Vandy
Kentucky
kansas
Kansas State
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State

Prediction:  No ACC school wants the SEC, ACC new tv contract and extra competition renders going to SEC a worthless move for them.   Texas hates SEC particularly Arkansas and LSU and old south.   A&M pretty much right there with Texas on SEC, particularly LSU.
