Since Mangino took over the school actually began trying to win at football. Basketball had reached the pinnacle of college athletics and KU has been determined to play championship level football (the football facilities are in the top ten nationally according to SI)...
I'm not saying TG is the answer. He may not be. This year will obviously be a step back from Kansas' recent success and hopefully we will know sooner than later whether or not HCTG is the right guy for the job. If KU decides he isn't they won't take long to pull the trigger. The school has the wealthiest and most powerful alumni in the state and even though Kansas has accomplished so much with their incredibly small state population those alumni will not stand to go back to Terry Allen days. Not gonna happen.
Nebraska has torn the fabric of 100 years worth of tradition completely apart. I hope it works out for them but we shall see.
Remember the Big 10 has programs such as Northwestern and Indiana, wouldn't these be your Iowa St and Baylor? You argument doesn't make sense to me.
