As long as they call it Kansas Jayhawkey I'm down

Yeah, I imagine they'd be on track to maybe even get to six wins with those games. You could play with the competitive balance a bit to even it out, maybe doing a pod with Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and a pod with Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Illinois, protecting the...

I feel like, for football, a 16-team conference is going to set up in four four-team pods, based mainly on geography, with protected rivalries. If Kansas and Missouri joined: Pod 1: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Northwestern Pod 2: Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois Pod 3: Michigan, Michigan...

Mizzou is AAU, and their endowment is slightly larger than Rutgers and Maryland and on par with Nebraska (though considerably smaller than the rest of the conference). On the surface that would seem to be enough to pass the test to get in to the conference.

Things are moving quickly now, it would seem.

I'm not sure there's anyone the B12 could reasonably add that would make them a power football conference after losing Texas and Oklahoma. Houston? Cincinnati? UCF? It's basically best of the American + remnants of the B12. And that's not going to be enough to get good media money, which means...

IF the B1G expands to 16 - I'm not sure they HAVE to but with the shift in landscape there's an opportunity - I think they would probably prioritize Kansas as an "easy get." Their revenue would be in the bottom half of the conference (similar to the Gophers), but they add a somewhat sizable...

Per B1G: https://bigten.org/news/2020/10/12/football-week-1-schedule-and-selected-additional-start-times-announced.aspx Gophers will also play a Friday night game on October 30th at Maryland on ESPN, and a night game at home against Iowa on November 13th on FS1.

Incredible. I'll admit I fully expected a loss tonight, but they proved me wrong. Big win for playoff chances.

That one hurt. So many chances late and couldn't get one to go.

Big one in Atlanta tonight! I'm not holding my breath but stranger things have happened and hopeful we come out fired up to win the cup!
