You're right that UConn's isn't better. I looked at this map just now:
On the other hand, I disagree with you about revenues and market. You're adding in TV conference revenue to overall revs. so it's like comparing apples to oranges. You need to compare base revs to get a true picture.
Go ahead, do that. Allen Field House holds over 17k, so I am sure the hoop ticket revenue is higher. Football probably is too. As Frank mentioned, 3rd tier rights were higher even than Texas until recently. Women's, UConn leads easily, and in soccer revenue. It doesn't matter really. As of 2008, KU was #15 among all schools in revenue per ESPN. And it does cover the state, regardless of K-State, although allegiances are split (not 50-50).
Look, I went to both schools but follow and root for UConn first. Always have. So I am not at all down on UConn or its prospects. I am mearly pointing out that some of the assumptions folks here make about Kansas are no more valid than the ones we see made about UConn on the Michigan board.

OK, I will.
For 2011 (the latest year in the USA Today database), Kansas's ticket sales are 2x bigger than UConn's. $20m to $10m
All TV rights and licensing for Kansas is at $24.8m. UConn? $24.8m.
Included in that is $12.1 B12 TV money for Kansas and $3.67 in BE TV money for UConn. A difference of almost $9 million.
Guess how much the revenue difference is between Kansas and UConn? Exactly $9 million. This tells me that if UConn were in the B12, it would earn more than Kansas. It already earns more in lower tier rights and licensing.
