Go to stubhub.com and check out ticket prices around the Big XII for opponents when they host Kansas. Compare those ticket prices to when those teams are playing any other team not named Kansas. See a difference? The Kansas Jayhawks are the team that everyone else shows up for. They’re the team that opponents can charge the most to see and still be sure that butts will be in the stands. That means that in every single road game, Kansas gets its opponent’s best game.
In the past, KU has thrived on that. This year…? This year feels different.
