so by your standards "infers a historical royalty in the sport, and once that is established it doesn't really go away." Kansas is a blue blood. Historically there is no program that is more historically in the sport than Kansas. More members in the Hall of Fame, which is named after the inventor of the sport (spare me your stupid banter how someone else invented, James is recognized, set up the rules, and everyone else but you acknowleges that), who also invented the game. 5 Championships, 3 NCAA Championships, 14 final fours, (fourth most of any school), the second most wins of any program in history. Phog Allen is recognized as the inventor of coaching. A coaching tree including Dean Smith, Rupp, Ralph Miller, Roy.
and you don't think they have secured their place in history as a blue blood? The only reason you would say that is jealousy, that's all.
