Feldman: The reality is that the remaining 8 Big 12 schools are closer to the AAC and schools like Tulsa and Cincinnati, than they are Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Alabama.

The problem for the remaining 8 is that none of them have a television market to bring to the table or subscribers from a national following.

Nebraska has a national following.
Oklahoma has a national following.
Notre Dame has a national following.

None of the remaining 8 schools can offer that. kansas really F'd up bad when they fired Mangino and threw away their football program. It was the worst possible timing to tank.

With a good football program, AAU status and an elite BBall program, that would have been attractive.

But it starts first and foremost with football. And they don't even have a following in Lawrence, let alone a national following.

They have a high school stadium, with an ugly track around it and fill it to 25% capacity. The Big Ten is probably drooling. lol
