If the mythical super league ever comes into being, there will no longer

be conferences, there will be a league, with divisions. It won't be college athletics, it will be a professional league, and it will have nothing to do with academics and "eligibility". Which BTW, I'm surprised isn't in litigation with all of the NIL money to be made. I'm evolving to the frame of mind that either we move to three P conferences, or this madness stops now, and ESPN gives the ACC an offer they can not refuse, maybe with a partner. The ACC gets their contract, maybe a raise, and the ACC lets FSU and Clemson (if they want), to leave. The ACC remains a power 4 conference, give or take in line with the B12, and we get to play football again. Either that, or we go to a power 3, and really guys, it doesn't matter what they call the conference. There will be some privates, and a few publics not included. Then, we get to play football again. K-State will not be invited to the Big 10. Sold out stadium, very passionate fanbase, great facilities, solid football and basketball, and fantastic in academics if you are into farming and ranching. Add that they have never won a national championship in anything, and it adds up to NOT being a Big 10 University.

Any thoughts on Missouri possibly defecting to Big 10 or back to Big 12?

I knew Mizzou had a basketball rivalry with Illinois at one time. At least

I Remember the Missouri VS. Illinois Mostly As a Basketball Rivalry

Even if the super league comes to fruition, there will still be conferences

Mizzou doing well. Best bet is to stay and push the SEC to invite KU.

Nobody is voluntarily leaving the SEC for the Big12. Doubt the BIG is all
