Message: [QUOTE="BKarchitect, post: 1825499, member: 7320"] KU's home market is the entire Kansas City metro area which is 33rd. That WSJ quote is for football programs only (where we ranked 57th in football in the latest WSJ report for football based on 2015). Our basketball program ranks 2nd nationally in value at almost three times our football brand's worth and combining the two major revenue sports would see us rank much, much higher in total net value than 57th.

Our $1.85 billion endowment would keep us very much competitive with the figures for many of the current B1G schools as well. I'm sure UConn would likewise receive strong consideration. [/QUOTE]
