Hell, it's not that much further than Colorado would be in the first place, you know? If they're willing to take CU, you'd have to think they'd be willing to take ku.

Colorado is a good fit because of their current relationships with the Pac 10. Denver would be a nice market to add as well (though I would argue KC is competitive for college sports). Colorado's football program is probably on the same level of Kansas right now vs when they were battling for Big 8 titles. I'd still say their program is still stronger overall, but Kansas is making up ground after pretty much destroying the program in Lawrence in the 90's because they wouldn't invest into the program. I agree though that the "travel" argument doesn't hold much water since you're likely flying from ASU/AU anyway. It's a difference of an hour probably. Either program would be lucky to get into the Pac 10/Big 12 south deal.
