The dust never settles on conference realignment in college sports. Power conferences forge on, but retro-speculation continues. The latest involves Kansas.
In a story that appeared in the Omaha World-Herald, the Jayhawks were envisioned by some in the Big Ten along with Nebraska, Iowa State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma to form an eight-team division with Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Intriguing, more so than speculation involving Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Iowa State and Baylor to the Big East in 2010, or Kansas to the Pac-12 in 2011.
And at some point from the beginning of the realignment speculation, Missouri to the Big Ten; Kansas State and others to the Mountain West; Texas, Oklahoma and three others to the Pac-12; Kansas and Texas to the Atlantic Coast Conference; Pittsburgh and Louisville along with West Virginia to the Big 12; and Notre Dame to the Big 12.
