OK... so how is that "raping" the rest of the Big 12? Isn't that "raping" the rest of college football?

Their athletic department is a dumpster fire, so the joke is on them at the moment.

Hard to disagree with that.

Baylor's schedule includes all of their rivals. They don't have to worry much about their non-con. A game against Mizzou will help generate excitement, but they need to focus on not being a complete disaster first. Getting waxed by your rival when your rival isn't even that good won't provide any benefit. Once Kansas gets up off the mat, the game will resume. Basketball schools playing football creates zero excitement. None. Does anyone get excited about a basketball game between Alabama and USC? Of course not. Hawaii, Rutgers, Duke, etc. are throwaway games. Mizzou would be the biggest game of the year for Kansas by a mile. I don't even care that much. It would be fun, but right now, every conference game is an event unto itself. In a few years, when some of the novelty wears off, maybe I will care more about a Kansas game. For now, I don't miss it at all. When you've got aTm, Florida, Tennessee, etc. coming to town, seemingly every game is a big game.

What is the biggest game on your schedule? Don't google "Kansas football schedule", btw. That brings up K-State.

Besides...Nebraska is long gone, too. You've lost your biggest rivalry game (Mizzou), and your third biggest "rivalry" game (Nebraska). Besides Kansas State, there isn't an interesting game on your schedule...especially your home schedule. If Oklahoma or Texas were on top, it would be interesting to go out and see Sam Bradford or Vince Young come to town, but neither of those teams have any real star power at the moment. Any team coached by Bob Stoops is somewhat of a draw, but he's lost his swagger. If you think Kansas has a compelling schedule, that's your prerogative. I just don't see it. Good teams? Sure. Interesting matchups that make anyone take notice? Nope...

No question Nebraska and KSU fans travel to Lawrence much better than MU fans do. Of course, they have a much better product to follow.

KU Football isn't like the basketball games where they are nationwide events. No one is arguing that. Fact is that the MU game held importance yes because it was a state rivalry but much more important was that the outcome directly affected the standings in the conference. You can holler all you want about a "rivalry game" but they don't matter unless it counts. You can laugh all you want but KU is interested in winning the Big 12 Conference in football and going to the CFB playoffs. You don't go and spend the money on a coach like Weis, build an entirely new track facility in anticipation of renovating your stadium if that wasn't the goal. |

Report: Syracuse agrees to ‘concept’ of 10-year series with Georgetown
They may not be in the same conference anymore, but it may not be too long before Syracuse and Georgetown renew annual acquaintance on the basketball floor. According to Syracuse.com, Syracuse has agreed to the concept of a decade-long series with the Hoyas, and is waiting to hear back from Georgetown. “We love the concept. We want the concept. We heard that they want the concept,” Syracuse Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director/Chief Communications Officer for External Affairs Joe Giansante told the site Wednesday night. “And so discussions are taking place to try to get something to where we can move it to the phase where we would actually contract the teams to have them happen.” Conference realignment has sacrificed a number of long-time sports rivalries, and Syracuse-Georgetown would be a nice one to salvage, especially if the rivalry smack continues to live up to Big East standards. |

The only way your argument works is if KU never gets out of the pit they dug and is never projected to do well in the future. Then, mostly for all the wrong reasons, that KU-Mu would generate interest. But, that goes completely against your logic of "having to get up off the matt" first. If KU is up, MU matters less, not more. The anticipatory games will be against the better conference opponents, not an OOC. Besides, at the rate things are going, the top conferences want to separate and only playagainst "like" competition in a different classification. Most probably, the OOC slate will soon be just these top conference teams. Would MU generate more regional interest? Sure. Is it necessary? Not really, not from our perspective anyway.
