What if you go West to the mountain or Pacific to change the start times, and get a few stand alone games? Where Else Could You Go With It? The Big Ten, SEC, and Big East will always play in the Eastern and Central time zones. Also in this scenario you’re the king of the west. That’s actually a huge hangup, do you want to continue having Big 12 fans have their money go to a state whose flagship program has already left year after year? Secondly, we’re now an expanding conference sure, Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State fans turn out well, but that on its own shouldn’t be a reason to keep it in Kansas City, when you have 13 other schools to worry about. However there are some good points on why it should be moved.įirst is it’s in Missouri, that’s tax dollars leaving Big 12 fans, and not going to a state or government that actually sponsors Big 12 schools.

So it can’t be a scenario that the Big 12 is too big for it. Also, not just because it has Kansas in its name doesn’t mean it’s a boring city, they beat out Denver to host matches for the 2026 World Cup. If Kansas State, and Oklahoma State were in it at that point I’d expect an even better atmosphere. I got there for the Quarterfinals after Kansas State was eliminated, but the number of Kansas, and Iowa State fans was incredible. It was affordable, There were good cheap bars near that area as well between the games to hangout at. Kansas City was a great city, the setup with the arena right next to the Power and Light District was amazing. Now I went to Kansas City for the last tournament and it was a blast. So when I posted the tweet talking about this, a major thing stuck out, based on the replies people really, really don’t want it in Kansas City. Obviously upsets happen, maybe TCU beats Baylor, but that TCU Arizona NCAA Tournament game was definitely a good one. By the weekend you get the actual tournament final with Texas Tech and Arizona, then a 1 and 2 National seed between Arizona and Baylor. Then by Day 3 a Texas Tech Houston matchup would be an amazing way to start the day, the packed house for Kansas Iowa State after, and two second round NCAA Tournament teams to finish off the day with Baylor, and TCU. Day two Iowa State Oklahoma State in the 8/9, BYU, Colorado in the 7/10. So first off how about those matchups, you get Kansas State, and Arizona State to open it up on the first day, a UCF, Cincinnati matchup.
