So since I'm hearing reports that the SEC is interested in A&M, nothing screams SOUTHEAST like College Station, Texas, shouldn't KSU consider being proactive and start looking for a new home? Just a thought!
The Big East already pre-approved KSU, KU, MU and ISU for full membership last year. I would assume that KU, KSU, and MU would be the 3 they would want beings they picked up TCU. We jus need to pick up the phone and make sure we still have a spot.
Is this true? I still struggle to see how the Big East is a bad thing for KSU. Our biggest competition would be TCU in a Big East-Western Division & we can continue to recruit out of the KS JC ranks, which is some of the best in the country. The only market that KSU wouldn't be seen in would be Houston, and we get exposure all over the east coast and Florida (USF). The Big East gets to have a football championship and could start their own network using basketball as the focal point-let's face it KU is coming along as well. If they could poach Duke and NC for basketball from the ACC, this could be a cash cow for the entire school year...
THIS. What a perfect out come this would be for us. I pray that our admins are seriously shopping us around real time right now. Not only would our Football be more competitive , but along with Big East Basketball we would constantly be on the East Coast televisions, which would help a TON recruiting out of New York and Florida.
Welcome to the site ahfish.
I just found this article from pre-TCU in the Big East:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/507968-big-east-approves-expansion-goal-of-10-teamsIt would appear that KSU/KU/ISU/Mizzou was already on their radar. With TCU, they can drop ISU (sorry Cyclones) and wrap it all up. They'll have the DFW, KC & St Louis and all the little markets in the KS/MO/Tx Markets wrapped up...that's almost 6 million TV homes-it's like adding the #2 TV market in the country to your veiwership. (here's the link if you wanna do the math

The only hiccup would be if ND decided that they should be part of the party in football...the hope here is that they would rather try to swing a BCS deal with an independent Texas.
And in case you wondered where the best NCAA TV viewing audiences are when it counts:
