@approxinfinity NIL is definitely part of it. Bill has also been more aggressive identifying and pursuing targets.
I feel pretty confident if Robinson goes back to school it’ll be at KU
Excellent breakdown of what’s coming https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40135891/ncaa-proposed-legal-settlement-billions-antitrust-paying-players ↗
@kjayhawks eh, KBOR hasn’t ever really meddled in conference affiliation. They just want to be informed

What level of steam would you say we are at rn?
The boiler works but we don’t have the engine cranked quite yet

Someone has to "retire" for it to work out. Very interesting.
One that would make a ton of sense is Easters. I assume he’s really close to graduating and would be a prime contender for a GA spot.

@approxinfinity in the next couple years, conferences are going to start sharing media revenue with student athletes. So there’s going to be a growing divide in what P2 and all other leagues will pay their players and we ought to be on the leading edge of that. Our NIL is good, but not keeping up with leagues with twice our budget good

Big Ten if I had my way; it’s just better for KU as a whole. But at the end of the day we just have to get out of the Big 12.

Also, a reminder that SEC chief Sankey said that the SEC does not plan to add any more member schools in the future on July 24, 2023. Less than one year ago.
He also can’t say it because it would open the league up to antitrust action.
I’m a hard yes to the SEC or Big Ten. The money gap when revenue sharing starts will be so vast that we won’t be able to keep up in basketball, let alone football. That’s 8 figures per year our donors would have to pony up that theirs don’t because the media money pays for it all. The Big 12 is already a second class league and it’s not going to get better.
It would be huge, I'm all in if that happens. Not sure if we are tied/obligated to K/State like UNC is to N Carolina St- or Virginia/Virginia tech is or not at the present. NC trying to gt that fixed
Honestly neither KU or UNC are tied to their little bros. We may have to pay them off a little a la UCLA to Cal but they won't hold us back. As an alum I'd be pissed but on some level it would be a little funny if UNC had to come to the Big 12 because nobody will take NC State

I know talk is cheap.
I guess my question is when would be the next time that the SEC would likely be looking to expand? Would it hinge on their contract cycles (which I thought were in multi-year blocks?). Or is this something that could happen every year?
Totally agree we need to get to one of the P2 because the chasm is growing and in 10 years there will be distinct tiers if not newly created separate leagues/divisions.
When the ACC implodes. UNC, Clemson, and FSU want out ASAP. So whenever they can write a check big enough to get out, they will. And they absolutely will have a landing spot. UNC used to prefer the Big Ten (at least they did when I was there) but now it appears under new leadership the SEC is the play. FSU likely Big Ten with Miami, UVA to the SEC. If the SEC takes UNC, Clemson, and UVA that puts them at 19 and needs one more school. Enter the Jayhawks.
@Crimsonorblue22 awww you're too kind!

The fellow who broke USC/UCLA to the Big Ten is saying KU is a strong candidate for when the SEC goes to 20
Leyton Cure (Linkon's older bro) is walking on. Transfer from Hays
Lance is feeling spicy
Bump
Update: we good
Many sirens in LFK
Arthur Kaluma into the portal #Tangmentum
Bean to Indy
Booker to my Bears! Cool we traded back into the draft to get him.
That’s a perfect fit for him
4 starters are set: Juan Storr KJ Hunter. I would bet on Griffen to be the 5th but Mayo has a shot at it.
I would also bet KJ and Juan’s minutes go waaaay down to under 30. I think you’ll see a ton of Juan Mayo Griffen Storr Hunter especially late in games.
I’d be floored if Brea replicated his production from last year but he’s a nice piece for them
The Small visit might end up happening…

@jayballer67 I don’t think they’re really related. Lack of our guys in the portal probably moreso
Hardly knew ye Philon
A good rule of thumb is every NIL number you hear cut in half and you probably are in the ballpark
@KirkIsMyHinrich Griffen just waiting to make it public, TBD on Kugel, Brea backup to Kugel so I really doubt we get him
We good
Tyrese Hunter to Memphis. Woof.
Old friend alert: Chris Johnson to Stephen F Austin
@Gorilla72 safety is easily the deepest position on defense. End is… opposite
I wouldn’t panic yet. The major driver of phase 2 (suite demand) isn’t even totally known yet so we don’t even have a final design. I’ve heard there’s strong demand for suites and such on the west side so there’s optimism for demand on the east side. Same story for season tickets. If demand is there they can finalize capacity, a design, and move forward.
@jayballer67 he’s going to Silo Tech in all likelihood
