If KU and K-State are left out in the cold ...

[Jens1893]

.... the BCS headquarters will be in a state with no school in a BCS conference

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Not so fast, KU (and possibly KjSU) could be prime candidates for the Big East:

Take a minute to picture a basketball conference featuring the following: Kansas, Kansas State, Syracuse, Villanova, West Virginia, Louisville, Marquette, Georgetown. If the Big Ten decided to not go to 16, you could even find yourself retaining Pittsburgh and Notre Dame, too. That doesn't even account for UConn and Cincinnati, programs traditionally strong over the last two decades who are experiencing something of a down period.

And if you don't think that KU fits in the Big East geographically....

There would undoubtedly be some skepticism about the distances involved when it comes to travel -- in fact, I already had that tweeted at me once -- but the fact remains that the distance from Kansas to Syracuse is actually shorter than from South Florida to Syracuse. If they made it work for a school, which, with all due respect, doesn't have half the history, tradition and prestige that KU does, why wouldn't they make it work with the Jayhawks?

KU will find a home. Not sure about KjSU. It all depends on the Mountain West BCS hopes. I mean if that happens I think Kansas State could kick some ass.

i saw this same point made on another board earlier this AM. KU to Big East and not MWC.

Closest school in conference
Big East: 548 miles (Louisville).
MWC: 515 miles (TCU).

Farthest school in conference
Big East: 1,435 miles (Providence). Among football schools, 1,388 miles (UConn).
MWC: 1,565 miles (San Diego State).

I would die laughing if KjSU came into the MWC and started kicking ass.

Those are some more good facts about KU and their proximity to either conference. And with the MWC, KU would be going to a pretty good basketball league but certainly nothing great, whereas in the Big East they would be joining arguably the top basketball conference in the country.

I don't know why they couldn't. MWC looks like it will get a BCS bid too.

The only problem with Kansas hitching its ride with the Big East is that the league isn't exactly a conference with strength.

TCU would push our **** in.

In football, no, but they already have a BCS spot while the MWC doesn't. And the basketball isn't even comparable between the 2, and all KU seems to care about is basketball. Of course this whole idea quickly falls apart should the Big East lose some teams to the Big 10 and/or ACC.

Can you imagine the fans of any of the big-least teams on their first road trip to Manhatten?
