*SIGH*Moving on up, to the East side, to a deluxe apartment in the skyyyyy. Nebraska today tipped over what will be the first domino in what is speculated to be the remodelling and overhaul of college sports as we know it, as the Nebraska Cornhuskers Board of Trustees reported voted to pick up stake and move to the Big Ten.
When reading reports some of the colleges most affected is Notre Dame, as it is rumored they will make a long anticipated move to the Big Ten and Kansas and Kansas State who are left homeless when everyone moves out of the artist formerly known as the Big 12. Both Kansas and K-State coaches Self and Frank Martin expressed concern over being left homeless in a Sports Illustrated article by Luke Winn.
So why not pose this question/statement.. Why not invite Kansas and K-State into the SEC? Geographically its doesn't work into the scheme of things, but then again, how in the world does Texas and Oklahoma fit into the Pac 10 geographically?
In the football sense I think both of those teams work for the SEC, while they aren't powerhouses I think that they are on the same level as a South Carolina and possibly Tennessee at this point.
In basketball it benefits the SEC tremendously, as a college basketball super power joins the SEC in Kansas and Kansas State provides an opportunity to add an up and coming program to the portfolio as well. Add in the ACC teams that we have previously mentioned and the SEC becomes the second super power conference. Food for thought and I am sure its not feezable for K State and Kansas to join the SEC.
However, if Oklahoma a school that is 1630.50 miles from the Pac 10 headquarters in Walnut Creek, California, can join the Pac 10 then why the heck not??
