if you exclude the covid year (21) when attendance was limited, KSU, KU, ISU or MU have been in the champ game every year since the Big12 showcase has been in KC. It is worth untold millions to the city to have that outcome! One of those 4 has won 13 of last 14. #Big12

Good grief, the butthurt in that tweet

KU or KSU have won 13/15 regular season titles in that time span.

Ashley Hodge, like too many here, whines way too much about things like this and officiating. Adjust and overcome.

Excuses and conspiracy theories are the crutches of losers.

I don't care for the tweet, but only gullible fools believe that there's not agendas at work when there's tens of millions on the line. It's the nature of people, always has been always will.

Winners control what they can control. Losers look for external reasons to excuse and explain away their failures.

what is whiny about the tweet? Just stating facts. Iowa State and Kansas have won 12 of those 14 non covid tournaments. It is in KC until 2031 so it doesn't matter anyway.

Suggesting that those teams have reached the finals because there is financial incentive for that to be the case.

It's one thing to express frustration with the homecourt advantage that tournament gives the Midwestern teams. We've all done that. But this reads like conspiratorial nonsense.

We lose in the Big 12 tournament every year because we play like **** in that tournament every year. I'd prefer we improve our play and worry less about outside factors.

fair, for someone who has been to KC almost every year (didn't go this year), I've seen and heard first hand how important it is for KSU, KU and ISU to advance. Not saying it is related to corruption but it has been a financial boon for the city when one of those 3 makes the final game. I know Vegas was considered but KC puts in a bid that is hard to turn down. As long as they get the right teams advancing, the math works.

Still can't shake a memory of going back up to my hotel room after midnight and one of the Iowa State starters mugging down in the elevator with a 50+ year old woman- haha. It's a circus there.

Not as egregious as the Summit League having it in Sioux Falls every year stacking the deck for South Dakota State when you only get one bid. Oral Roberts overcame it a couple of times but it has been South Dakota State or North Dakota State ever other year.

To Deny it's an enormous advantage for the teams
Within 2 hours drive of there is ludicrous

That said if it was in Dallas or waco we still wouldn't have as many fans there as those schools.

And often it's not like we lost a close in in the semis or finals where a "home" call or two made the difference. We usually just get our doors blown off and randomly someone like Loehner becomes a huge part of what we're doing for the first time all season.

I watch but quit going years ago mainly for those reasons.
