As far as Kansas rumors, I've always believed it. If you have a crap football program, it doesn't seem to matter how great your basketball program is. You run the risk of being stuck in a crap conference when everything shakes out. I actually thought Wake Forest to Big East would happen first though because I thought ACC would be next conference to crumble from poaching.
Not sure why Clemson, FSU, Miami, NC St., Georgia Tech, Louisville, Virginia Tech and Syracuse/Pitt/BC haven't already tried to merge with Big 12.
*Actually scratch that. I guess I forgot Big 12 is bringing in Houston, UCF, BYU, and Cincy. Although if I'm BYU I'd prefer Pac 12 membership.
I can't believe this mess is going to happen all over again.
