Kansas evidence of basketball's second-class status in college sports

That Kansas is an afterthought in this madness despite winning a national title in 2008, spending much of last season ranked No. 1 and entering next season as owners of 147-game streak of sellouts at the 16,300-seat Allen Fieldhouse supports what I've said for years: College basketball is closer to college baseball than college football in terms of the importance placed on the things that will shape leagues.
