You are not wrong. I'd even take it a step further. No one cares about

Kansas football year in and year out, unless of course they are undefeated, playing an undefeated Duke team. It was a relly good story last year, and the only reason those teams were even mentioned was because of the win loss column. Next year, a ranked Toledo will be very relevant, as they have a chance of getting an automatic in the playoffs. This year, if they get a major bowl like Tulane last year, they most certainly will be relevant. That run last year by Tulane got them mentioned in discussions about a power 5 invite, and let me tell you, if a Toledo, a Marshal, an Old Dominion have a run, it will dwarf the middle of the pack B12, ACC, and PAC stories. As soon as this realignment mess is settled, the story will the playoffs - period, no if ands or buts about it. People will forget about these media deals as soon as the first snap of the season happens. Kansas has a 100% better chance of making future playoff games then Rutgers, Indiana, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, and just about every lower tier SEC of BIG University.

He can't recruit players that can win big games, he recruits kids like him
