Look at Memphis. They do OK in the non-conference season on TV, but as soon as they hit the CUSA, their TV coverage drops off the map. If ku is in the MWC, they'll still get good coverage in the pre-conference season when they're playing good teams.
And that MWC lineup isn't exactly going to compare well with what the major conferences bring to the table for national broadcasters... if ku ends up in the MWC, no matter how you slice it, the national TV profile and the opportunities to be on national TV are going to decrease.
You're  ing if you don't see that. |
What would you think of KU attempting to go independent in basketball ala Notre Dame football?
