[QUOTE="This Ain't Chopped Liver, post: 3170085, member: 74137"] It is about TV viewership. Kansas and Kansas State have the worst football TV viewership numbers in the Big 12, the bottom two! In the same state! Both in our conference! The state of Kansas should be pleased as punch to have one P5 school. Those poor TV viewership numbers were during their good long run of their winning Bill Snyder years. That is as good as it gets and it ain’t good. Kansas State is a relatively small 2nd tier state school of 20k students (15.6k undergraduates). The state of Kansas is not worthy of two P5 teams in this era of TV viewership numbers dictating. A state with only 2.9 million people, but with two power 5 schools with very little, if any, national appeal other than Kansas basketball. One flagship school is more than enough representation for the state of Kansas. And the football viewership numbers bear that out. So you go with the flagship University of Kansas and strengthen it by removing the weaker Kansas State which hamstrings the Jayhawks ability to thrive in football, popularity and TV viewership.
