If they joined the Big 10, perhaps they could finally -- FINALLY -- beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers! (how sad is that!).
With talk of them possibly getting an invite to the SEC (ok w/me), would the Big 10 be better for them?
A good read...... LINK

I think it would be great if they go to the Big10.
Definitely don’t want them in the SEC.

They are NOT a SEC school. I don't know why people come up with crazy notions. He'll, Mizzou ain't a Southern school. They are both Midwestern, big10 schools.

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.

Who cares
Posted on 5/11/24 at 11:39 am to kywildcatfanone
The SEC members care. Taking Kansas dilutes the revenue distribution from the SEC and increases travel costs for the conference teams.
Bigger TV markets means more revenue to be distributed to the members.
This will be -very- important if the AD's start paying players directly.

More than the number of meaningful head coach candidates did about the Kentucky opening

The Big10 should take them and Mizzou both to reunite the rivals for the 23 people who care.

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.

I don't think the big ten will take kansas. If the big ten were to expand there going to target southern states growing in population like florida, north carolina, virginia, or georgia.

Sadly, conferences aren’t regional anymore. The SEC would take Notre Dame or OSU in a heartbeat.
That said, realignment is going to damage smaller sports. Auburn is in the market for a softball coach and might get a very good one because softball players don’t want to travel across the country for a weekend series. The SEC is very attractive to smaller sport coaches because of this.

They would have already done so if they could. Read up on Title IX.
