Kansas
By now, Kansas fans hate me. I understand, and that’s okay. The rivalry shouldn’t be allowed to die. Mizzou has not played the Jayhawks since leaving the Big 12. It has left a hole in the hearts of Tigers fans. Not so much because we miss you, Kansas fans, but we miss beating you. Okay, and we miss the rivalry.

I’d love to see Kansas join the SEC. Vanderbilt would love that Kansas will replace them at the bottom of the conference football rankings, and they don’t even have a football team since James Franklin left for Penn State.

But in all seriousness, Kansas joining the SEC would again add another solid basketball program to the mix, and it might help the Jayhawks’ recruiting efforts for its football program. I agree with GG’s chance that Kansas joins the SEC, and the likeliness of the Jayhawks being offered admission is greater than Kansas State.
