Big XII/Valley Double Header in Kansas City...lets hope

"@KellisRobinett: Missouri Valley commish Doug Elgin tells me he is pushing for a MVC/Big 12 doubleheader at Sprint Center next season involving Wichita State"

"@KellisRobinett: Doubleheader is in early stages of discussion. May or may not happen. Still an interesting idea. Could create good nonconference matchups."

Would have to think Wichita, Kansas, and KSU would be 3 of the 4 teams. Nows the time to make something happen!

For those that don't know Robinett writes for the Wichita Eagle, about KSU.

This would be fabulous, but don't hold your breath.

I posted this in a different thread last week, I had heard it was KU, MU, WSU, MSU.

I'll believe KU and Kstate are playing Wichita State when I see them on the same court together.

Watch it end up being K-State and Iowa State.

Wichita v K-State

UNI v Kansas

Honestly if the Valley could find a 10th team there could be a Big 12 v Valley extravaganza at Sprint Center over a weekend.

It will most likely be Iowa St/UNI & Kstate/Wichita St. I just hope MSU is one of the teams since I live in KC. Kstate and Iowa state already play football at arrowhead trying to get more exposure in KC so I think those are the teams most likely to be involved. KU already plays a lot of games at the sprint center and can schedule anybody they want and they will NEVER agree to playing a MVC team if they think they have a chance of losing because that's how Bill Self schedules.

K State already has a neutral site game against Gonzaga next year in Wichita I believe. Not that they can't play another neutral site game, I just don't know that they would. Our luck it will be Texas Tech, TCU, Wichita State and Missouri St lol

How about West Virginia vs. K-State and KU vs. Evansville?

That would require acknowledging the Valley as a real conference. Will never happen.
