Conference Realignment and Other Sundry Matters

The SEC is well on its way to starting a new conference network. But CBS is balking at a substantial increase based on the addition of Missouri and Texas A&M.

What would realignment be without rankings? SB Nation's Jason Kirk puts together a ranking criteria, and K-State is the least valuable Big 12 school. If you look at the way the criteria is put together, it's not hard to see why. Particularly in the "Football Success" category, we're victims of 100-year rankings and the evil Bill Connelly's five-year F+ rankings, which were clearly designed to keep down K-State's value in this type of rankings.
