the idea of K State playing a high stakes game @ Tulsa to determine a conference championship that their own fans won't even be able to enjoy makes my dick hardclearly not a power 4 conference but also would clearly be the 5th best conference
And for almost all of those schools, that’s a fine place to be
Ex: KSU will have less than 19,000 students this fall and their endowment is roughly 1/4 the size of Nebraska’s. (and we aren’t a “rich” school) a conference like this is the correct place for KSU type schools. Never should have been playing vs the big boys to begin with.

Not called the Hawk anymoreI could only hope to have Ole Stuck as my insider connection. Obviously I am not important enough for that kind of high faluting elbow rubbing. I am relegated to my relatives and friends who work for or use to work for the KU Athletic Department, or are friends with coaches, or are friends with the AD, or are big boosters, former players, have kids who play on the football or basketball team,........... Lots of them come stay at my place at the Lake of the Ozarks. 2 were down this week. I got KU dialed in on so many levels. Heck Before I fell in the lake last summer peeing drunk off a dock I had Bill Self's cell number in my phone.
For you old timers that use to go to Lawrence for Husker games how do you think it is possible that a bar named after KU's mascot, The Hawk, would turn into a Husker Bar on gameday with Lincoln's very own Sidetrack Band Playing? KU fans thought that was a slap in the face, which it was. We gots that town dialed in. GBR!!!!
Can confirm. Cockeye City and Minny are boring as fuckEvery Nebraska fan under the age of 28 isn’t gonna be able to comprehend that you can have a school in your Conference that’s close to Omaha/Lincoln and not 8 hours away.
To an extent you are correct but I also beg to differ, as we still refer to it as The Hawk. And if you don't believe me I will ask my brother, who is one of the owners of "The Jayhawk Cafe" or "The Hawk" and happens to be at my house on the Lake of the Ozarks with me right now. The owner of The Wheel is with us also. Fuckers are always coming down here with people from Lawrence drinking my beer and eating my food so when I go to Lawrence I roll around that town in style.Not called the Hawk anymore
Other than less money it would probably be beneficial to KSU
More wins and better recruiting. (Cuz they ain’t recruiting kids right now with promises of titles or big bowls so non power conf status doesn’t matter)
5 schools in Texas, 2 in central Florida… like I said not bad landing spot for KSU/Tech/Baylor/WVU other than less money.
Only former Big 12 school that would have a downgrade is Oklahoma State but they have nobody to blame but themselves for being so poor and stupid. (Academic standards lower than even KSU which is literally just the head Juco in Kansas)
Easier said than done. The Big 12 will get $35M per school this year. The AAC schools will come in just under $7M per school. Even if you said adding those schools together bumps you up to $15 per, losing $20M a year would devastate them and their athletic department.
Now is it inevitable that they will have to take a pay cut, absolutely, but it doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily do better because they are moving into a lesser conference.
They still feel that unless something big happens with the Pac 12, which they don't really want, that they will end up in the B1G. I would love to have them back in the same conference because we will fill The Hawk on game day weekends plus can generally get free football tickets from the Athletic Department. We could use an easy win on our schedule plus I really think it would help our recruiting in KC plus Kansas and Missouri. GBR
I drove by there the other day and thought it was called something else. I texted my brother in law, he was a bouncer there when he was at KU. He has some funny stories about that place.To an extent you are correct but I also beg to differ, as we still refer to it as The Hawk. And if you don't believe me I will ask my brother, who is one of the owners of "The Jayhawk Cafe" or "The Hawk" and happens to be at my house on the Lake of the Ozarks with me right now.

It went from The Hawk back in the day and then they tried O Street and 18th Amendment as names. They were trying to act like a new bar. Would work for 1 year then the next would be dead the next. So they went back to the original name. Then they expanded by adding the Beer Garden, Boom Boom Room and Martini Lounge. Everyone still just calls it the Hawk even though technically it is named The Jayhawk Cafe. Even when I am hanging in their offices it is always referred to as The Hawk.
I believe Fort Scott or PittsburgWhere was Stuck at again?
I was actually in Great Bend last summer and thought about driving past KstateBate’s practice but realized I’m not crazy and instead avoided the area.
They still think they are going to the B1G.So I assume Kansas is not getting the invite?
