I know it's early, but he does have a good resume pre-Kansas.

6 National Titles at Wisconsin-Whitewater in 8 years.

He had the Buffalo Bulls respectable for the first time ever. They'd never won more than 8 games in their 25 years of football prior to his arrival. Even then they'd only won 8 games twice in those 25 years. They'd also never won a bowl game (0-2) prior to his arrival.
In his 6 years at Buffalo he won 8 games once, 10 games in another, had them bowling 3 times going (2-1), and a Top 25 ranking.

Can Kansas afford to pay him big boy monies once the Big 12 media rights payouts takes a 40% (or greater) hit?
 
Lance is building a powerhouse. Definitely have Kansas in the 12 team CFP

I believe they're currently #3 in the Big 12 behind tejas/Oklahoma for revenue generation. KU basketball being the difference between other teams.

My bad..

In 2019 Kansas St. created $4 million more in revenue than Kansas, and TCU $2 million more.

Yeah, they do have that "cushion" with hoops revenue. But we all know football revenue drives the bus. UConn is proof of that. Even the new Big East hoops conference doesn't come close to the revenue generated by the big football conferences. Or at least that's what we've been told.

I think adding BYU may help cushion the Big 12 revenue loss. I don't see the other three bringing anywhere near enough to offset losing OU and Texas. But who knows, maybe the networks will think otherwise. Still think they'll move to last of the P5s in revenue by a long way. But they'll stay considerably ahead of the G5s....regardless of what Aresco thinks.

Texas and Oklahoma were bringing in 50% of the Big 12 media rights revenue by themselves. Hence my 40% or greater reduction.

I'm thinking it will be greater than 40% reduction without those two. I'm no media expert but I just don't see the orphan 8 commanding more than 25-30% of what they were getting. Which one of the orphan 8 is "must watch"? Their basketball draw may be close to the same without those two but none have the brand OU or Texas do...even though some of their football is currently better than them! :laugh3: Like I said, BYU might make up 10-15% of what they lost. (Seems they have a very large contingent of fans when they played at Baylor) I can't see the others drawing more than another 15% collectively. Houston ain't gonna bring more eyeballs to the screens that what they already had. Cincy might for a while with their recent success. Do Florida fans really follow UCF closely?

I still think Kansas gets a Big 10 offer eventually. 25% of Big 10 media revenue comes from hoops.
Colorado and Kansas would be reasonable picks.
 
I look forward to seeing Leipold's own recruits and a full offseason to install his program. Getting any FBS wins with what was inherited and being hired when he was is probably an acceptable result.
 
I have no faith in sustainability. This is one game, albeit I couldn't have asked for it against a more deserving opponent.

He will likely plateau around 2-4 range.
