I don't see Kansas or Iowa State moving to the Big Ten without a more dynamic addition having been secured.

The B1G's baseline for revenue is going to be pretty high and they'll need a heavy hitter to make it worth their while. If not then they'll turn their attention to the Mid-Atlantic schools and it's entirely possible that's where their attention has been all this time anyway.

I've thought for a while that Kansas is more valuable to the SEC than the Big Ten. The B1G has plenty of basketball powers already and adding KU to the mix won't significantly increase their audience or expand their reach geographically. Combining that with the fact basketball doesn't generate as much revenue and the B1G wouldn't be getting much when you consider the small market.

The B1G needs 2 things...

1. Stronger football content.
2. Large, wealthy markets so they can sell their content even if it's not necessarily the best content.

Kansas would make a decent #2 for the B1G, but I don't see it. And Kansas is a better match than Iowa State despite the fact ISU fits the profile perfectly. I'm not convinced that the B1G is disinterested in Oklahoma, however, but I think their prime targets are on the East Coast...that or Notre Dame.

From the SEC's perspective, Kansas works better because adding to our basketball viewership would be a bigger punch in the arm. That and our alumni base outside the Southeast is not very large. Oklahoma speaks for itself.
