If anything, you’re overrating how much a basketball program means in the grand scheme of things when it comes to realignment.
It’s down to football, TV markets, and AAU status. Nothing else matters.

There is a lot of talk apparently that a potential split from the NCAA would open avenues to monetize basketball much better than in the past.
Also KU generated millions more than Rutgers and that's with the football team being historically low, it's basically only up from here. The future of Kansas is growth and that's why they'd be valuable.
Having KU basketball in the Big 10 makes them a legitimate basketball powerhouse second only to the ACC.
