Marshall's program never got to the heights that Boise did. (I know you didn't say it did) But BCS money is the name of the game. That's where the money is. Boise could help them on the big stage because right now it is USC (banned), Oregon, and Stanford (party is over when Luck leaves).

Like I said, it is highly unlikely they ever get an invite. I was mainly making the point that Kansas wasn't ever getting an invite from the Pac 12, SEC, or Big 10

Football is driving this. You somehow seem to be missing this point. BCS appearances = money. Top 5 programs = money. Sexy OOC matchups = money. Boise could bring all of this.

Kansas does brings none of this. The difference in revenues in football and basketball should make you "LOL."

In 2010, Kansas' football net revenue was 4.34 million.
In 2010, Boise State's football net revenue was 3.15 million.

In 2007, Kansas ranked 11th nationally in football revenue.
In 2007, Boise State ranked 89th nationally in football revenue.

You really want to try and say that a conference would take Boise State over Kansas????

Why because you cherry picked 2 years that most benefitted your argument?

We'll have to agree to disagree I guess. I really don't see how you're visualizing the conferences going to 16 teams and Kansas not making the cut. Conferences would be ecstatic to have Kansas' tradition, basketball program, academics, and culture as their 15th or 16th team in the conference. Just because Boise State had a successful decade doesn't mean they're valuable.

Those were the 2 years that I could find.

If 08, 09, 11 go against my argument, then so be it. I honestly don't know. I just found 07 and 10's numbers when I did a google search. And even so, Boise was in a BCS game in 07 and 10 lol

Want to take a bet on who brings in more revenue this season? Kansas won't get much of a payout in the Microtel presented by Subway.com Bowl this year

You said Boise State brings in more money...I posted 2 years in the last 5 that this was not true. What more do you want me to say?

I'm not so sure why you are impressed that Kansas made $1 mill more anyways. Boise made a nice amount without the help of a shiny media / television deal and are also a nonAQ school so they get a smaller cut. Your argument is kind of flawed

Read previous post. If Boise is in the Big 12 or PAC 12 they make more than Kansas. Are you really this dense? Compare the media deals. Kansas gets a lot of money from the redistribution of wealth. Kansas is also AQ for the BCS. They probably had nothing to do with 3/4 of that revenue haha. They better be praying and thanking Texas and Oklahoma for all of the money they get them

Agreeing to disagree. I really don't know what else to say to you lol if you truly think Boise State is a more sought after program, idk what to tell you.

Here's a great article on the Big 12...very interesting numbers

Wondering how Kansas ends up second in athletic department profit after nearly depleting their football revenue with football expenses? Basketball, of course. During this same time period, Kansas ranked #11 amongst all BCS schools in basketball revenue. Texas followed closely behind in twelfth position.

Same story here. Nothing out there suggests that anybody except maybe the lowly Big East wants anything to do with Kansas

What about Larry Scott's planned trip to KC last year to meet with and Kansas and Kansas State about the PAC 12?

jordo212000;896394 wrote:ehh maybe. But I doubt it. As krambman says, nobody has expressed any sort of interest in Kansas. Football is driving all of this and Kansas is an afterthought. Boise State would be far more likely to get an invite than Kansas IMO. I remember during the last realignment people were laughing and thinking that Kansas might have to swallow its pride and enter the Mountain West

I do also remember the dire situation Kansas seemed to be in last year when this was a major topic. I also think that while realignment has remained a topic, many of the dynamics have changed. A lot of people assumed that if the ACC expanded to 16 that they'd raid the Big East. Heck, from several reports over the last few days, the ACC may ultimately be where Texas ends up. If that happens, they may just gobble up Tech and the Kansas duo as well. And if they're already willing to look at expansion that far inland, even not getting Texas doesn't mean they won't make moves outside of what we previously thought was realistic.

That Texas A&M would move alone was kind of an afterthought during the last round. I agree with most of what you say when it comes to Kansas as it is just simple fact that basketball isn't ever going to be the greatest factor. But I think they sit in a much better position today than they did last year, even if that means the Big East.

I don't agree about Boise at all. I believe Boise's only real hope is that the Big XII also-rans (which may still include Kansas) somehow work out a deal to keep their BCS spot by picking up some low rent teams (the Big East managed to survive by doing this when Miami and VT bolted). There may still be Super Conferences, but not exclusively like most people are thinking. That is really the only hope Boise has for a variety of reasons, including athletically (no, being a little guy in a few BCS games doesn't make you instantly an attractive conference member).

Yeah, again not saying Boise would be given or even that it is likely. Just saying I felt they had a better of entry than Kansas

I also have mainly been saying Kansas won't get in the Big 10, SEC, or PAC-12. I didnt say anything about the ACC or Big East

In those 5 years, Kansas has the 5th highest profit. They had a TON of expenditures because of their huge renovation project in 08 (I believe). Also, Kansas has to spend so much of their profits to help with their weak football program. And still, 5th highest.

Kansas would be an ok addition to the Big East. That's about it.

smh. I have already addressed your point about the differences in revenues. Kansas is absolutely banking more $$$ right now because of their status as an AQ school and the fact that the Big 12 has a major TV deal. I seriously have no idea why you keep bringing up how much Kansas makes compared to Boise.

If Boise had the tv deal and AQ status, they would most definitely be making more than Kansas. Boise has been far more successful than Kansas has. They make BCS games and they generally perform pretty well on the big stage.

Those numbers I posted didn't include money they make from TV deals, etc. It was strictly their athletic departments operating budget.

So waht's your next excuse?

Surprised Virginia's revenue is that high. S&L you should try to sort those by profit. Just a heads up in Profit:

Kansas- $59,334,387
Boise- $813,582

I love BSU but there is no way they would be taken before Kansas.

The problem with defining relevance and arguing that some should be left off a list because they benefit from tv deals and AQ status is where do you draw the line? If Kansas is not relevant, then certainly teams like Washington State, Oregon State, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Indiana, Minnesota and Purdue fit that bill as well. When you drag in the ACC you can throw in Duke (speaking football relevance only), Wake Forest and Virginia as well.

Would Boise State generate more revenue if they were in a BCS conference? Sure, but so would teams like East Carolina, Central Florida, UNLV, SMU, San Diego State, Memphis, Hawaii, New Mexico, Rice, BYU, Temple, Fresno State, Tulsa, Wyoming, Miami of Ohio, UTEP and UAB. All of these teams generated more money than Boise State based on the list that S&L previous provided.
