[QUOTE="CountryFrog, post: 2982472, member: 70667"] I'm amazed at how many people think Kansas has huge value to a conference because of their basketball program. These conference moves are all about TV money and TV money is decided almost entirely by football. The Kansas basketball program would only actually bring value to a G5 conference that isn't getting much TV money to begin with. The idea that a conference like the Big 10 is craving the Kansas basketball program is ludicrous as they add zero value to the TV deal beyond just extra inventory with more games. Kansas was an eyelash away from joining the Mountain West during the last round of expansion because of how little value they actually bring to a conference. While the KU basketball brand makes a ton of money for itself through merchandising and its own fanbase buying up tickets, streaming service, and giving massive donations; the value they bring to a conference is very little because they don't impact the football TV money. Basketball TV money is a tiny thing compared to football for these P5 conferences and its not like the Big 10 doesn't already have valuable basketball properties as it is. And mentioning the TCU baseball brand is even more meaningless. Absolutely no one gives two [ Finebaum ]s about college baseball on a national level. [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
