The Big Ten just can’t help itself. Reports are flying that the conference wants to expand again — eyeing a 20-team mega-league by 2030 — and guess who’s in the crosshairs? The Big 12. Utah and Kansas have emerged as prime candidates thanks to their AAU status and recent facility upgrades, and that sends shockwaves through the rest of the league. In this episode, we break down: The Big Ten’s endless greed and why they’re circling the Big 12 for more programs. Why Utah and Kansas are in the driver’s seat for Big Ten invites — and how Salt Lake City and Lawrence check all the “TV market” and “academic” boxes the Big Ten covets. The devastating fallout for Kansas State if KU bolts for the Big Ten — from recruiting disadvantages to the in-state rivalry becoming Iowa-Iowa State 2.0. What this means for the Big 12’s future and why Brett Yormark has to keep the league stable while the ACC teeters on collapse. Why the “Power 3” is inevitable and how K-State fans should view their program’s positioning in the long-term college football arms race. This isn’t just about Utah or Kansas — it’s about the survival of the Big 12, and whether schools like Kansas State get left behind in the next round of realignment. Hit LIKE if you’re tired of the Big Ten’s constant power grabs. Drop a COMMENT with your take: Should Kansas State be worried, or is this just noise?
