They have the votes needed from the other universities in the conference, there might be a twist here and there that make things a bit different, but there's a great chance that KU to B1G will be happening. Have heard the year 2023 as a potential start date. That part is still up for grabs depending on multiple factors.

Seems to be a matter of when and not if.

Hoops games will be epically slow and low-scoring.

Bit of both. I think Vernon is really good with his stuff. Have heard from some guys in the Wichita area that are pretty plugged in as well and they are thinking/hearing the same. Not sure on dates, that's the biggest unknown. But like I said, it seems to be a matter of when and not if.

It can't be overstated how important the academics are with this entire thing. Just absolutely massive. And it seems like plenty of the admin of the B1G schools see past the football woes and see the revenue the athletic department with a struggling football program.

Just as scary as your Techs, ISUs and KUs.

The sunshine boys have no clue. That is freaking crazy. You have to be kidding. KU not scaring anybody not even Vanderbilt forget about the rest. The Big 12 has had one team represented in the playoff....one
you clowns probably do not even know that Mizzery recruiting is so much better cause they in sec.

I get it you the sunshine boys blowing smoke. But hell be realistic.

An 8-4 pod winning teams won't help any league and I highly doubt they would be invited to make the SEC into the SWC-reborn. They have hurt the Big 12. Playing good teams every week leads to losses and injuries. KU has suffered more than anyone else. In the old system, there were more winnable games and a break from the desperation of the round robin. In fact, the SEC is an easier conference than the Big 12 top to bottom. Vanderbilt, MU, Mississippi State, Florida, UK, Arkansas aren't that scary. Am tired as hell of the deep benches. Will be glad to see the gauntlet format gone.
