Kansas is a blue blood basketball program and the ACC should have scooped them up when they had a chance. The ACC has an opportunity to create the best basketball college league in the country but they are going to pass it up.

I don't think anyone can credibly make the argument that the ACC missed its shot at creating a basketball rep for itself.

Sorry, Kansas makes no sense in the ACC. That's the kind of bid that would, if it had a real chance of happening, send Florida State and Clemson packing within the hour.

Kansas looks more credible in the B1G--mainly because the B1G already specialises in big, boring AAU farmland schools. The B1G would still need to overlook the way the Jayhawks, in the decade since the last upheaval, have done nothing more to recommend themselves. The Jayhawks haven't won more than 3 football games a season in that entire span while going winless in the B12 five times. That's a pretty sad try-out if your goal is to move up.

But maybe the B1G needs a practice dummy. We'll see.
