I mostly agree with all of this. Regarding Kansas, I'd say it has at least as big of a share of the KC market as Maryland has for DC and certainly as Rutgers has for NYC. Meaning, It probably has enough critical mass to capture a market for subscription reasons.
It surprised me that B1G didn't take Mizzou all along. I don't know if they would leave the SEC now, partially from feeling dissed, and partially because their football program is doing quite well in the toughest conference, so they may not want to go to "lesser competition" in the B1G.
