One of the bigger reasons they want Colorado is the short travel, the Denver market and the fact that CU has alumni in CA/AZ that will help with ticket sales ($). They will settle with Baylor but only if they are guaranteed Texas and Oklahoma.

Wouldn't having Kansas help boost the league pedigree when it comes to the NCAA tournament, though? Every year it seems like I hear the Pac-10 and its alumni fans complaining about getting overlooked when it comes to bids. Wouldn't Kansas being in the league help raise its visibility?
