Well, I tell ya, folks been jabberin’ ’bout this whole Kansas to Big Ten thing. Heard tell it’s gonna be a real big shift, like movin’ a barn in the middle of a storm. They sayin’ the Big Ten’s gettin’ bigger, swellin’ up like a toad in a rain puddle.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I just hear things. They sayin’ there’s gonna be eighteen teams now, count ’em, eighteen! That’s more teams than chickens I got peckin’ in my yard. And they ain’t gonna have them fancy divisions no more. Remember them Legends and Leaders? Gone like yesterday’s cornbread.
- Them folks in the Big Ten, they been busy as bees.
- They got them Oregon fellas, and them USC and UCLA city slickers.
- And don’t forget them Washington boys.
Heard they bringin’ in all sorts. Like gatherin’ eggs from different hens. And they talkin’ ’bout addin’ more, like Notre Dame. That’s a whole ‘nother story. Seems like everyone wants a piece of that Big Ten pie.
And then there’s Kansas. My, oh my, them Jayhawks. They been part of the Big 12, stickin’ with ’em like glue. But now they whisperin’ ’bout movin’ on up, movin’ to the Big Ten. It’s like leavin’ the ol’ farm for the big city.
They say it ain’t easy, though. Big Ten’s got rules, you know. Gotta have sports, lots of ’em. Sixteen, they say. And you gotta have seven of them special kinds. It’s like makin’ a quilt with all the right patches. If you miss one, the whole thing falls apart.
They even talkin’ ’bout money. Big money. Like sellin’ the prize pig at the county fair. TV deals and such. CBS and Fox, them big names. They pourin’ money into the Big Ten like water into a bucket. Makes a body wonder if it’s all worth it.
Heard they even had a phone call, them Kansas folks and the Big Ten. Talkin’ things over, makin’ plans. It’s like plannin’ a weddin’ or a funeral, gotta get all the details right. But nobody knows for sure what’s gonna happen. It’s all up in the air, like dust in a whirlwind.
Some say it’s a good thing, this Kansas to Big Ten move. More money, more exposure. Like gettin’ your picture in the county paper. But others ain’t so sure. They say it’s changin’ things, makin’ it too big, too fancy. Like tradin’ your ol’ boots for shiny new ones that don’t quite fit.
Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Time will tell if this move is a blessin’ or a curse. Like plantin’ seeds and hopin’ for a good harvest. But one thing’s for sure, it’s gonna be one heck of a show.
So there you have it, folks. That’s all I know ’bout this Kansas to Big Ten business. Just a bunch of talk and speculation. But ain’t that the way things always are? People talkin’, things changin’. Just gotta roll with the punches and see where the wind takes ya.
