The one school I would prefer not being in the Big 12 is Kansas State. The population of Kansas is only 2.9 million and in today’s era of TV viewership numbers it is impractical to have two Power 5 schools in Kansas, and in the same conference! The University of Kansas and Kansas State have the worst football TV viewership numbers in the Big 12—the bottom two.
Seems logical that each school is dragging down the TV numbers of the other and the Big 12 is bearing the full brunt of this—the Big 12 is not sharing this burden of two with another conference having one of them; the Big XII has both—it is foolish! If the University of Kansas was the only Power 5 school in the state, then its football team’s success, popularity and TV viewership numbers would trend up. All of this is enough pragmatic justification to understandably and politely ask Kansas State to leave the Big XII, hmm.
