@approxinfinity eh not really. You’re always compromising something with portal guys. Otherwise they’d be in the NBA

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
@kjayhawks eh, KBOR hasn’t ever really meddled in conference affiliation. They just want to be informed

The A&M center to KU is gaining steam
What level of steam would you say we are at rn?
The boiler works but we don’t have the engine cranked quite yet

Someone has to “retire” for it to work out. Very interesting.
One that would make a ton of sense is Easters. I assume he’s really close to graduating and would be a prime contender for a GA spot.

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
@approxinfinity in the next couple years, conferences are going to start sharing media revenue with student athletes. So there’s going to be a growing divide in what P2 and all other leagues will pay their players and we ought to be on the leading edge of that. Our NIL is good, but not keeping up with leagues with twice our budget good

RE: SEC Wooing KU?
Big Ten if I had my way; it’s just better for KU as a whole. But at the end of the day we just have to get out of the Big 12.

Also, a reminder that SEC chief Sankey said that the SEC does not plan to add any more member schools in the future on July 24, 2023. Less than one year ago.
He also can’t say it because it would open the league up to antitrust action.
I’m a hard yes to the SEC or Big Ten. The money gap when revenue sharing starts will be so vast that we won’t be able to keep up in basketball, let alone football. That’s 8 figures per year our donors would have to pony up that theirs don’t because the media money pays for it all. The Big 12 is already a second class league and it’s not going to get better.
It would be huge, I’m all in if that happens. Not sure if we are tied/obligated to K/State like UNC is to N Carolina St- or Virginia/Virginia tech is or not at the present. NC trying to gt that fixed
Honestly neither KU or UNC are tied to their little bros. We may have to pay them off a little a la UCLA to Cal but they won’t hold us back. As an alum I’d be pissed but on some level it would be a little funny if UNC had to come to the Big 12 because nobody will take NC State

I know talk is cheap.
I guess my question is when would be the next time that the SEC would likely be looking to expand? Would it hinge on their contract cycles (which I thought were in multi-year blocks?). Or is this something that could happen every year?
Totally agree we need to get to one of the P2 because the chasm is growing and in 10 years there will be distinct tiers if not newly created separate leagues/divisions.
When the ACC implodes. UNC, Clemson, and FSU want out ASAP. So whenever they can write a check big enough to get out, they will. And they absolutely will have a landing spot. UNC used to prefer the Big Ten (at least they did when I was there) but now it appears under new leadership the SEC is the play. FSU likely Big Ten with Miami, UVA to the SEC. If the SEC takes UNC, Clemson, and UVA that puts them at 19 and needs one more school. Enter the Jayhawks.

I think after we got comit from Storr & Riley-- pretty well sealed the deal, think he wasn’t to hyped up on the competition.
Oh he still really, really wants to be a Jayhawk. Just didn’t put the work in over the semester to get it done.

@kuballin10 KU has these things called academic standards that everyone has to follow. If he gets to play at school the quality of KSU then more power to him
Wait. An education is not only offered, but required too?!?
Wild right?? For a second I forgot what the U in KU stood for…

RE: Transfer Rumblings
My somewhat informed guess is Kugel could actually get into KU but not be eligible to play. This actually happens fairly often, just nobody talks about it for obvious reasons.

Sounds like Shelby will be a Jayhawk. Question will be whether he’s on scholarship or not…
Contingent on Kugel I believe
Have heard nothing along these lines. Fully expect him to be a walk on and RS.
One of those deals where if you’ve got a spare come fall you just let him use it for a year

RE: Transfer Rumblings
I tracked this awhile ago, the difference between offense and defense on KenPom is like 2.5 spots, something like 4 to 6.5. In terms of distribution, offense has a wider one (goes from 1 to about 40) than defense (only 1 below 20)

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
4 starters are set: Juan Storr KJ Hunter. I would bet on Griffen to be the 5th but Mayo has a shot at it.
I would also bet KJ and Juan’s minutes go waaaay down to under 30. I think you’ll see a ton of Juan Mayo Griffen Storr Hunter especially late in games.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kjayhawks I’m not sure on the specifics but can speak generally. Some guys quit trying if they think they’re going to the NBA. Then when that doesn’t work out it’s like oh crap I don’t have enough credits to be eligible without A LOT of summer work

It is funny that clearly all the videos and photos were done, release was written, quotes given and all that. Almost like people knew beforehand!
