You underestimate KU's national appeal.

This is why only a few schools can have ticket scandals. KU is one of them.
And you continue to overestimate the leverage of any mens college basketball team.

There are dozens of attractive games on every single day. Do you honestly think a television network is going to offer an exclusive rights contract and pay tens of millions for the right to televise KU v. Iowa State?

Hell no it won't. There are way too many good basketball games every night. There's no mens college basketball program in the entire country that has the juice to get a major network to pay any appreciable amount of money for an exclusive rights deal.

You absolutely have to stop ignoring market realities here. There are too many options out there for the networks for them to put any appreciable money into a television contract with KU.
