For the SEC, it's all about TV market money.
Kansas only has one TV market in the top100, so I doubt the SEC goes there.
If the SEC expands, I think it will be to Virginia and North Carolina to pick up their TV markets.
Here's a list of top 100 TV markets broken down by existing SEC markets, the one top 100 Kansas market, and the top 100 markets in Virginia and North Carolina. BIG difference in eyeballs between them.
Also, if I accidentally left out any top 100 markets, please add them in the replies.

That is exactly the reason the sec should not expand into kansas the future of sec expansion is north carolina and virginia.
If the sec were to expand to 20 teams take north carolina, nc state, virginia, and virginia tech.
Reasons to have to two sec schools in north carolina and virgina those two states are growing in population which bodes well for the sec long term in the future.

This is actually wrong. It’s about football matchups more than anything else. There was a time when it was about adding TV markets. Now it’s about selling individual football games.

I’d imagine KU alum are KC and St Louis primarily however basketball gets their big draw. They don’t have spring sports or invest in shite.
Oklahoma State was a top 25 viewership with a big Texas/DFW. Even with OU in the state. More than…Mississippi State and Kentucky and many of your other schools.
You do not see Kansas ranked in any of these sports lately have you? Baseball? Softball? Track? Golf? Nothing. If any school is poached in the Big 12 it’s Okstate. They have the best facilities in the current Big 12 and many SEC schools.
