Episode Details

Recent rumors circulating are regarding the potential future conference affiliations of Kansas and Colorado, specifically mentioning a move to the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Regarding Kansas:

• Rumors about Kansas potentially joining the SEC have surfaced on message boards, particularly around the idea of the SEC expanding to 20 teams.
• Some discussions suggest that the increasing value of basketball could make Kansas, a historically strong basketball program, an attractive target for the SEC.
• However, these remain largely speculative discussions among fans. Some analysts and fans question the fit, noting that Kansas doesn't necessarily add a significant new television market to the SEC footprint, unlike potential additions in the ACC.
• There was a report in May 2024 about Kansas being a potential SEC target if the conference expanded further, but this was based on message board chatter and speculation.

Regarding Colorado:

• While Colorado officially rejoined the Big 12 in the fall of 2024 after leaving the Pac-12, there have been some discussions and hypotheticals about their long-term conference future.
• Some message board conversations have included Colorado as a potential SEC target in very hypothetical scenarios, particularly if there were significant further realignment.
• However, much of the recent news surrounding Colorado's conference moves has focused on their return to the Big 12 and the financial incentives involved in that decision.
• There was a brief mention in April 2025 of Colorado being a potential transfer destination for a quarterback, with the SEC being off-limits due to conference rules, implying their current non-SEC status.

General Considerations about Message Board Rumors:

• It's important to treat information found on message boards as largely speculative and unverified. These forums often contain fan theories, wishful thinking, and conjecture rather than confirmed sources.
• Conference realignment is a complex process involving numerous factors, including media rights, geography, athletic performance, and institutional relationships. Actual decisions are typically made by university and conference leadership, often behind closed doors.
• While message board discussions can sometimes reflect underlying sentiments or potential scenarios, they should not be taken as factual reporting.

In summary, while the idea of Kansas and Colorado joining the SEC might be a topic of discussion among fans on message boards, there is no concrete or widely reported evidence to suggest that these moves are imminent or actively being pursued by the universities or the SEC at this time. Both schools are currently members of the Big 12 (Colorado having just rejoined), and any future realignment decisions would likely involve significant strategic considerations beyond message board speculation.
