These people posting have no idea what is important to any of these schools. They just think because UConn decided to do it it’s what Kansas would/should do. I [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/texas-ok-ask-to-join-sec.172847/page-5#post-4014679']laid this out in a different thread[/URL] earlier this week but there’s zero chance KU goes Independent and Big East:

[I]KU has a national brand yes but the Big East to them isn’t an upgrade, even over the “zombie” B12 which would still include regular games against teams they’ve played for 100+ years in addition to regular games in Texas (where they attract both athletic and non-athletic students) and a brand like WVU. KU has shared conference history all the way back to the Big Six with Iowa State and the Big 8 with Kansas State and OK State. Playing those teams matters to their fan base and their schools. You don’t just give all of that up to, once again, play schools that you’re not peer institutions with, don’t have history with, located in geographic areas you don’t attract students from, and likely still make less money.[/I]
