At the family Christmas gathering, my brother in law mentioned that he had to go to Lawrence to see a chiropractor. While there, in walked the man himself, Bill Self. Now my bil is a KSU grad who has coached high school basketball for over 30 years. 5 time state champs, lots of other tourney appearances... In general a great guy from Grainfield, Ks.

As Self made his way to a chair he talked up everybody in the office before settling insight next to my bil. My bil mentioned he was a KSU guy and they talked about football and Self commented how he thought Snydz' had done a remarkable job. One that should firmly entrench him in the HoF.

The talk then turned to realignment in the conference and then to MU in particular. Self stated that according to what he read and had seen, MU wasn't going to make any more money than they had in the Big XII. They talked further and Self kept coming back to this point of no extra money for MU.

Anyway, I don't know what Self knows, nor do I know if he was just blowing smoke. But my bil was convinced Self was firm in his belief. Anyway, it was an interesting conversation that was relayed to me.

I'll be interested to see the actual dollar amounts. $$$ / 10 teams vs. $$$ / 14 teams.
