So I read where the law makers is Washington & Oregon that said there was a movement to emphasize to put tax pyers and public not wanting to split PAC 12 public Schools. - If they are successful that would force Oregon State? Oregon & Washington State & Washington together - you take one - -you take them both or not at all.

I'm sur the Big 10 would neve accept that as it waters down the amount for evey school because WSU & OSU for sur do not bring enough market value.

This in turn may add more credence to the Big 12 ? Pac 12 joinging together/merging as a mega conference - merging together and having all of these schools come together

I think the bottom line is , that we as fans can try and twist things around , wish , hope , , talking about why being independent would work- - the fact is these super conferences are now a reality - -this is the future for football & College sports it's just the fact of life now.

We can complain & wish all we want about KU not merging , KU becoming an independent KU going to the BIG - -thing is IT'S NOT HAPENING Or as far as the BIG goes not happening for some time to come. - We just don't bring enough Market value for them to invite. - You can argue all you want. - -If they are not adding Stanford & Washington calling them tweeners where they don't bring enough value- -then they sure the hell aren't inviting KU for some time

The Big 12 & KU by talking with these Pac 12 4 Schools is doing what they need to do at this time. We CAN NOT just sit still and do nothing If they did then the Big 12 would be screwed and would be a thing of the past. Then we would have to hang onto our butts and hope to GOD for the best. - This at the present time anyways is about the best scenario - either add these 4 Schools OR just merge total with the PAC 12 we become that 3rd Conference

@jayballer67

Why don't we go independent? Our basketball is going to SUFFER making a move like this. We need to hire-in marketing gurus in the AD and go after big independent bucks.... we then share with no one.

We tie in with Pac12 we will take a monster hit. It's such a bad kneejerk reaction. The big money deal is a dream. No one east of Colorado wants to stay awake late at night to watch KU play Washington (beyond KU diehard).

Can't really answer that , as far s our Basketball teams taking a hit - -not really that sure. - With the Schools that have been added or considering being added - -I'd say were fine. - We are gaining Arizona & Houston BOTH better then Oklahoma and Texas in quality of play. It might be idealistice to be independent and play a schedule like you talk about but not realistic -- KU would be committing suicide to try and play that kind of a schedule if your looking at it from a KU stand point and not a League standpoint - - No matter who KU plays you would be surprised at the National media they pull no matter who they play. - -Ku is BLUEBLOOD AAS BLUEBLLOOD can be in Basketball. - -People want to see really good basketball , your true College fan loves seeing Blue Blood basketball. So to say Ku would be or suffer don't think is necessarily true. - We will have quality teams in this league more then offset losing Tex and OU to the SEC

Again Arizona - - Houston - - & Even Cincinnati are good quality with Houston and Arizona being better then Tex & Houston in Basketball -- don't really think KU Basketball will suffr as much as you beleive

I openly admit to having little knowledge in these conference shakeouts. But my gut says to NOT PANIC and get into death deals. I feel like being part of a super conference is an absolute disaster. No more solid conference home/away round robins stinks. And the answer to split up conference by region is not the answer. I know viewing numbers add up to cash dollars.... but in the long run I like the strength of identity. And though the Big 12 has changed flavors it still has some bones left that connects history and region.

Just look at our rivalry with Mizzou. It was building into one of the top college basketball rivalries before it dissolved. And now that it has been realized how important it was... they are trying to rebuild it. Not such an easy task... though we see the attempt.

The big $$$ in our conference ALWAYS related to rivalries. Am I the only one who remembered when the Big 8 largely controlled college football with NU/OU games? Had we "kept it real" and stuck together through all of this conference shift garbage we would own college sports today, regardless of the viewing numbers because those big games were MONSTER games that attract the entire USA!

I miss those days... and I hate the idea that we become some kind of begging orphan sister to another conference we have ZERO identity with.

Hey.... screw it... let's go independent. Use our football program strictly as a revenue source finding opponents who fill stadiums and wanting an easy win. Stop dreaming like Kansas football is coming back to something real.

Our basketball program can start looking more like the Harlem Globetrotters.... traveling the nation playing ranked teams only. Talk about gaining a recruiting edge... we become the "elite of the elite" by only playing Top 20-25 teams. The money will be outrageous. Our entire schedule will be on ESPN. Our SOS will guarantee us a 1-seed every March... and we won't get stuck playing in stupid conference tournaments before March Madness. We take time to heal and rest before we go into the big tournament to DOMINATE!

If we are going to leave our history/identity behind, then lets really leave it and go for a real cash in! These super conferences are absolutely stupid!

Well my friend , I'm afraid your on a sinking ship. Cause this with the Pac 12 is going to happen. The Big 12 is talking with these Schools tomorrow and look for it to move fast.. The Big 12 had to do something , there is no way they could just sit still and do nothing. College athletics as a whole is taking on a new face - -this or these super conferences are the future landscape , If the Big 12 didn't act then in the near future there would be no Big 12. It would crumble , and every team including KU would be left without a home and scurring to try an find some place - - any place to continue. I hope your not one that thinks we are a certain to be accepted to the Big 10 , Cause KU just like an article I read today - KU is in kind of the same boat as Oregon & Washington with the Big 10 - they are considered a tweener The Big 10 considers those Schools Oregon & Stanford s a School that does not quite bring enough value to the Market. - That's another reason the Big 10 has said they are done for now.

If Ku wouldn't of made some kind of move then we would be in the cold -playing in some mid major conference or like the Mountain West - - The AAC . Now this deal with these 4 Schools from the Pac 12 that the Big 12 is scheduled to talk to tomorrow is not a done deal - - - it's a done deal. Pretty much word is everyone who is anyone feels like this is what needs to be done. - -Sorry buddy but I'd much rather be this way and on or solid footing then the other option

There’s a meeting Tuesday between the Big 12 and the Arizonas, Utah, and Colorado. This could get done quickly

Dang Farmer thats good news hopefully. Thanks for the insight. The Big 12 just can't afford to sit still and do nothing, I'm hoping this is some SERIOUS TALKS. - -I think if we could get together with the Arizona Schools and add the other two it would at least put us on more stable ground. No wouldn't be some mega conference but we would at least put us on more stable ground..

Your a breath of fresh air on this Sunday Evening Farmer, may not be the ideal situation but we have to DO SOMETHING. - -Like I posted earlier, off the Arizona boards most their fans figure it's pretty much a given they come to the Big 12. If indeed this got done would move us to a 16 team conference

Hoping it’s a kind of quasi-merger and we don’t even entertain bringing Oregon St and Wazzu unless it means getting their big brothers.

Ya, I hear ya. I really think chances are we just work a deal with these 4 , I think the chances of Oregon and Washinton being available is going to be pretty slim down the line, as from what I've been reading although the BIG says they are good for now - -when it's al said and done sounds like Oregon and Washington is next on the list for them..

I think we stand pat with the 16 team conference about as good as it's gonna get for us. The others from the Pac 12 just bring not much - -the only thing would be would be a complete merger , but with the meeting talking to these 4 I think this is it.

Mercy the ACC is going to play out really interesting wiith teams if they even thought about leaving they would have to forefit all home revenue for games up until 2036? - -is that right ? - If that's true that league is in a world of hurt with the way these things are playing out. - Looks like we gonna get like been saying maybe 4 mega Conferences? - -Not sure if we would have to add yet more but not sure where we would get any quality teams from. - If we still have to add cause there is talk of even 20 team conferences now thats insane. Yet I think we are good if we can get these four - - -at least for now.

maybe I'm a lone wolf , maybe im stressing to much but I've been reding Arizona , Arizona State , Utah boards and seems consensoul that these teams need to be added to the Big 12. WHY is the higher ups of the Big 12 being so blind. They need to move, the Big 12 sits silent then they WILL BE silent at the wrong time. - -They have to get these teams added to stay relevant in the sporting world. To sit and be silent makes no sense what so ever The Big 12 needs to move and move now.

Either we merge with the pac 12 or we take these teams to form our own solid conference - not just sit and be a complete idiot

If accurate, WTF!?!? I guess the behavior makes sense considering Bowlsby is still in charge for a few more weeks and he's never been proactive when poaching teams when that's been anopinion, he's always been reactive when making moves. It'd be nice if his farewell to the Big 12 was to change it up, swing for the fences and invite Arizona, ASU, Cal, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, Utah, and Washington to the Big 12 and see who's interested. Especially considering the Big 12 does have their next TV deal coming up a year after the B10. Going for those 8 schools is probably the only way to realistically increase the current yearly payout to schools.

If the Big 12 jacks around and does nothing and wets all over themselves with this - - then the league deserves whatever they get. This bullshit of just sitting when the teams are there to expand - -now days you better get it done. - -The Big 12 can not afford to just sit around on their thumbs with this

No wonder people say the ACC grant of rights is ironclad. There’s no mechanism in the deal for getting out of it! https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2022/07/01185531/ACC-Grant-of-Rights-1.pdf ↗

I don't imagine the conference lawyers wanted to make it easy to make a "lateral" move for schools from one P5 league to another. The Big 12 probably has similar language in their deals which is why OU amd Texas haven't been able to work on an earlier move to the SEC than when the B12 Grant of Rights expires.

So it looks like this is going to turn into one big time cluster. - - Read where the Big 10 has told Oregon & Stanford they standing pat and not looking to expand any further at this point.

Pac 12 looking to expand ,if this happens - -does KU become one of the expansions joining the Pac 12 ? - I will repeat the people in charge need to get after this with all fours - -whether its the Pac 12 joining the Big 1 or Visa Versa - -things have got to move. -I think probably best if the two just merge

The Pac 12 would be a death knell for us- the black hole of college sports. I sure hope we don't merge. If anything, I could see Pac12 losing most of their members after all this shakes out. I think the B12 will swoop in.

Hell if the big 12 swoops in as you say and most of members no difference then the leagues merging -big 12/pac 12 - - pac 12/big 12 either way these two will form in the ed in some way

So I wonder what happens to these other Conferences ? - -The Big East - - Will the ACC survive

I could not be a bigger fan of this offer. Could be done sooner rather than later. I've been pushing for it some, since full disclosure I have some personal involvement with Louisiana's football program. McCaskill is a very good player (2nd team all Sun Belt) and an even better kid. Would immediately upgrade the locker room and product on the field. 🐦 View Tweet?s=21&t=Jz3uJ87i0LukY6uO9o10hg

what position does this kid play ? - -we got a shot ?+

Really good shot, he's a LB. He's tight with Rich Miller and Marvin Grant. Nice little Detroit pipeline we're developing. Coach Simpson is gonna be a star.

Update on McCaskill. He’s visiting this weekend and if he leaves it’s only to pack his stuff and move to Lawrence.

Update: GOT HEEEEEM

I think chances are that the Big 1 and the Pac 12 merge when it's all said and done , & I think we are going to see this put into action fairly quickly

The B1G isn’t ready to move on Oregon and Washington. Waiting on Notre Dame. The Big 12 should be pulling every string to get the top of the PAC.

couldn't agree with you more Famer - - I think they need to jump and jump now. - -The chances of us in the Big 10 are getting less and less. - - I dove into the message boards of the pac 12 schools and they all seem to think they need to join the big 12 - Arizona , Arizona State , Utah , & Colorado. - sur not the perfect scenario but we can't sit still and do nothing

I red a statement from CBS Sports that quoted one Big 12 Member saying they had no interest at this time to add any Pac 12 members - - that would be a HUGE mistake. - -Either merge and take all remaining members or take those 4 schools. The Big 12can not afford to just sit and do nothing

I think chances are that the Big 1 and the Pac 12 merge when it's all said and done , & I think we are going to see this put into action fairly quickly

I don't know guys , I mean call me blind , call me thick , call me slow , call me stupid BUT with this latest development , I just think even more now that KU will be staying put. - -One - -with USC & UCLA joining the BIg 10 I just think there is even a less chance of KU just for Basketball.- - With what has even been mentioned here Football is the money maker in College sports and even though I love my KU - - we all know KU brings NOTHING in that aspect I just don't think even more now that our Basketball is enough to attract the offer. USC traditional good football teams - & good enough especially UCLA can hold their own in Basketball

I just feel even more strongly now and like an article I red tonight the Big 12 which found it'self in Death throes 11 months ago NOW all of a sudden find their Selves in an advantageous position as beneficiary with this movement in the Pac 12. I think the possibilities like a different article said - -we could see the Big 12 and the remainder of the Pac 12 form a merger - -OR the big 12 may just try and add Arizona - - Arizona State - - Oregon - - Utah - -* Washington I just think KU will stay put and ride it out

Not sure if ANY TRUTH at all to this but got from TOS. statement from Bowlsbuy - -The Big 12 officially announcing extending offers to Arizona , Arizona State , Washington , & Oregon to joining 24-25 academic year. - -Could be some trioll.

One thing we DO KNOW this is going to be something else hold on wild ride in the future

I think with this move by USC & UCLA moving to the BIG 10 - your gonna see a lot of movement now. - -I think this thing has just erupted. Hoping for the best & I think now KU stays put expand the Big 12 and see where it goes. Good teams from other conferences going to be looking to make moves and make moves soon I think

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Big 12 Expansion:

This is interesting and surprising because usually the Big 10 has been interested in schools that share a border with current Big 10 members.

With the Big 12 hiring their new commissioner, I'm hoping he'll look at further expanding the Big 12 by raiding the PAC12 and going after Arizona, Arizona St., Colorado, and Utah if UCLA and USC do bolt for the Big 10.

Ya we must do something and would say I think fairly quickly. - -Like your thoughts would like possibly having Arizona & Arizona State possibly joining . - -What about trying to get some teams from ACC if not PACC 12 ? - -This whole deal with the BIG 10 accepting UCLA & USC has kind of blown geographics right out of the water. - Would be some travel problems/distance for sure but looking like now all bets are off and Dog eat Dog

@nwhawkfan said in Big 12 Expansion:

Media outlets in the Northwest are already reacting to the USC & UCLA departures, mostly with alarm.

Schools like Oregon and Washington (fiscally stable up to now) have a decision, according to one headline I just read: "Leave Pac-12 Or Be Content In A Declining Conference." Already some rumors have the two schools off to another league, possibly the Big 10.

One issue for any conference taking them in: the fate of the rival programs at Oregon State and Washington State, which don't have near the resources of their in-state counterparts.

(It makes one wonder how many KU fans would trade the K-State rivalry for a berth in a better conference.)

A lot of the blame for the LA schools leaving can be put on the last Pac-12 commissioner, who negotiated a terrible TV contract that put a lot of kickoff times way too late for viewers in the Eastern and Central time zones. I'm sure the Big 10 won't have them play home games at 7:30 Pacific.

Answering about KU leaving the K/ state rivalry - -I think they would in a heart beat, bottom line is teams/schools have to look out for themselves , rivalries or not, and really for KU/K State there hasn't been that rialary lately in the two sports - - K/State dominating Football - - KU dominating Basketball. The other school need to win once in a while for it to really be a rivalry . The thing is and I have no clue on this totally know nothing but evey time this is brought up all I hear is how Govt here in Kansas would not allow KU to leave K/State behind I don't know

Dwindling options. Join the PAC 12 or the B12 add two of the best remaining - CO rejoin and maybe AZ? Not sure they would have any interest...

ya does look that way if those two joined that would put the Big 10 at the 16 team , although I've never thought we were really in that serious contention. Not worried KU will figure this out

I think they will be on the worst teams in Power 5. Not one of the 7 transfers is a game changer. Nowell was a pain for us last year but that's about it. No idea what to expect from the new coach but I would expect a lot of growing pains

Big upside on Evans especially at his size. I'd say he's a work in progress as far as being a complete player but his jump into the Top 20 is taking into account the long term potential he has.

seen a little on him not to bad - -but mercy those nearly 7 blocks a game sticks out. - - He says we hitting him all the time - - you think we legit trying to get this kid - - might be a nice pickup 7'1

Reada an article where KU is recruiting 7'1 post man Dennis Evans 210 pounds - -averages nearly 7 blocks a game. - he said KU had been in contact with him - - ALOT- - # 18 according to 247 sports - seen some video - -needs to add some weight but DAM 7 blocks.

KU - -Minnesota - - Florida State - - TCU -- San Diego St. - - - KU - -San Diego State and another the ones with most contact

Pretty decent. We have had harder by far , but we have some fairly or should be good to run offense get the new kids adjusted and feeling more comfortable.

Omaha - - -Southern Utah - - - well going back through I guess really those are about it. - -Others should be competitive not saying we should lose those games but might be good games at least not yawners.

Obviously the tough games or harder anyways - - Kentucky for sure , Duke will be a monster - - Seton Hall will be a good game - - & then the battle for Atlantis has some quality teams - -I'll take it I reckon

LMAO you crazy lol

Read today gave the salarys of this years every players money in 1st round picks. - - It said they went of the Salary Scale Value based on the 22-23 Rookie Scale chart real GM

A Player can sign for as little as 80 % to as high as 120 % of the scale value of where they were selected. - -Rookie contracts last for 4 years , with the last two years as team options.

So they have Ochai Salary listed for his rookie contract at 3, 221, 600 - - & Christian at -2,309 , 100 Dollars. - be hard to take huh - - College players one day - - Millionaires the next lol

Well it had been a pretty good Sat morning - -then I came on here and found out I had stepped on somebody's toes - - -hurt their feelings . So to that I say this when I joined this forum I was under the understanding that this was a open forum, a forum where you can post threads , debate , & voice opinions - - - - -hmmm

I also saw threads where you could make those posts. I had NO IDEA that there where hidden exceptions to these topics - - qualifications. So todays example is KC Royals /OTHER Baseball , hmmm - - even though it is stated OTHER I didn't realize thats not the case - - it has to be Royals - - only Royals even though the header says KC ? Other. - Also didn't realize that their had to be a certain umber of a teams fans here before a fan of another - -I thought didn't matter if it was ONE fan or ONE HUNDRED FANS team was allowed to post. - guess I missed that - -you have to have a X amount of fans before you can make a post about your team. -my bad.

So I guess with having said this I guess we need to look at other topics. I guess that means if ONE K/State fan comes in here then they will not be allowed to as quote ( rub it in our faces ) about say their football team because we don't want anyone rocking the boat - -and they are not a KU fan they have no right to come to an open forum and talk sports even though it may not be sugar coated with things about our team. it's no different whether I talk about NY in the Baseball section that says KC/ OTHER MLB - or it's anything KU related. If it's dealing with football - - -Yes this ONE K/State fan would EVERY right to come on aKU board and have the right to say he likes - - it's a open forum for Christ sakes. - Yet I guess the headins need to be changed to like KC Royals/ No one else

Look I've been here for a minute, and honestly I'm not here to win any popularity contest I'm here to be able to talk KU sports - - Baseball sports - - whatever the case may be. It's awfully hard to not it looks like to step on some's toes - hurt their feelings - to that I don't know what to say , because if I can't come in and be able to express myself without people getting so defensive then that's - - -just sad -I've had people attack me on here. I use to get real defensive but have had some talks with people here private and like they have said it's not worth it -So now I just tell them have a great day and move on.

This isn't forum to get into a battle of words exchange insults - that's not what this site is for. - Yet if people are going to get offended by comments made well - - - - -- . People need to look at how the titles to this different Headings are listed. - -Again in Baseball umm NOWHERE did I see where Yankees fans can not post. From the beginning I didn't post that to as they say rub it in your face simply stating what a great start they were having and BOOM we have to come back with certain remarks - -NOW I'm rubbing in face lol. - - OK that's it. - -that's what it is.

Bottom line is I'm not going anywhere I'm going to continue to remark on others posts. - As for me I don't care if I EVER get a comment on any of my posts - -but if fans from other teams are truly not allowed to post in here then things need to be changed-- Time to grow up

@bskeet One person likes the Yankees and decides to come in and rub it in our faces when they're having a historically good season.

@jayballer67 It's annoying as h e double hockey sticks to come on a site you know are almost all Royal fans who have gone off the deep end since their way more recent WS victory and tell everyone how great your team is.

Last time I checked this is an open forum. you wanna cry cause the Yankees are winning. - --- unless I need my eyes checked I believe the heading is KC Royal ? Other MLB which if I'm not mistaken means ANYBODY can come under this thread and post what the hell ever they want. - You got your team you pull for I got mine> - You like it ? - - Oh Well.

There are alot of posts that get put on here that I find annoying - - Tel you what the next time I feel like I'm posting something I'll check with you just to make sure I'm not stepping on your toes and hurting your feelings - - Grow the Hell up

Nuggets are SUPER high on him.

He had a guarantee from them and another team if Denver didn't snag him. So happy for him

Dam. VP for the Nuggets sounds like he really loves Christan. Very High Prause

kind of surprised that Ty TY hasn't been drafted yet. just the way the ards have played out I guess

@BShark said in NBA draft, Jayhawk style:

@jayballer67 It was clear he was going in the first round if you looked at Vegas betting odds. Was bet all the way down to +100. Also, he probably had a good idea it would happen since a lot of fringe second round guys including Jalen came back.

Wasn't that clear from what I was readaing seen way to much talk o fringe 1st to 2nd round - - - 30th pick at best was what I was seeing. - -I'm glad he is where he is just saying surprised
