BLASPHEMY!!!!

[ltrain]

Would that lead to Kansas in the ACC?

Or the Mountain West?

(If it's the latter, good look turning a big profit by scalping stolen league tournament tickets.)

All a lie. They aren't being looked at seriously because of us.

Listen Steve, KU is a basketball blue-blood, an AAU member, a tier 1 suniversity and one of the haves in college athletics.  KU is the flagship university in the state of Kansas and carries national brand appeal.  Not to mention recent success(2008 Orange Bowl) in football and anyone can see that KU is a sleeping giant.  With KSU out of the way and in mid-major land Memorial Stadium will be expanded to 75,000 seats and KU will show true might!  But that will never happens because KU is tied to KSU

This part of the article made my coworkers look weirdly at me for laughing so loud....

KU is the girl who's dad told her she was pretty her whole life.  Then the girl goes to college and has no one telling her she is pretty any more other than when she is on the phone with dad. 

KU, daddy(JoCo) still loves you.  Just remember that. 

Who cares that you have no one asking you out.  Daddy says if they aren't giving you attention, they aren't good enough anyway.

a school's total revenue really is immaterial to the discussion. i know you think it's important, because it gives you something to believe in but the truth is that an athletic dept's revenue doesn't mean squat.  it's television sets that matter here broseph and ku, despite what they've told themselves all these years, is still in kansas.

7th on the list, you rough ridin' jackass.  

8th if including Syracuse WITH NYC.  Either way, warm up the banner-hanging, motherfuckers!

i don't know man. unless i'm reading it wrong (which i might be because i can't follow the link at work) it looks like syracuse should be up above ku at 65,874,573 WITH NYC or whatever that means. i do agree w/ the bmw premise that if the big10 expands to 20 or 30 teams that ku will probably be one of them.

It's a total added revenue estimate, not the school's athletic revenue.  In other words, KU would add ~46 million to the Big 10.

This and with the ticket scalping crap that is going on I doubt the validity of the the sell out crowds.

i agree w/ bmw here. out of the 11 schools listed, ku is probably 8th or 9th on the big10's list.

got it- sorry for not reading the link.  over at Phog the guys seem to be relying heavily on the AD's revenue as if it matters.

Who can trust ku's athletic revenues anyway . . . nearly everyplace you can go find out about revenues for athletic departments has different numbers for ku . . . they're all over the map, they are also ALWAYS the last BCS conference school to have their DOE Equity in Athletics financial numbers updated.   THe USA Today FOIA information doesn't match what they submitted to the DOE for their EADA reports and the respective fiscal years. 

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

I know Missourians are a bunch of meth heads that steal TVs rather than watch them, but how does KU generate more cable ad dollars than Missouri?

If anything, KU's athletic revenue is underestimated because of the opportunity cost missed on all of those "complimentary" tickets.
