Ladies and germs, I have just heard from a highly connected and private source that KU's contemplated move to the big 10 conference is a fait accompli. While this causes me considerable ennui, I must confess I was not surprised to receive this information. After all, KU belongs in a conference of other midwestern flagship universities, and the natural progression of things would seem to place KU into that conference of fellow academic and athletics titans. Now, this may not be made public until Q1 or Q2 of 2022, but the information I have received confirms it is merely a question of "when," and not "if."
Smell ya later, taters. I'll still stick around, if you'll have me. If you won't, I'll respect your wishes. In the latter instance, please know that I'll be quietly rooting for you from afar. It has been the pleasure of a lifetime.
