After reports of Kansas talking to the Big Ten conference about joining, another Big 12 school reportedly also has begun the discussion.

According to Mike Vernon, talks of Iowa State moving to the Big Ten are going on. This news comes on the heels of Oklahoma and Texas looking at going to the SEC as the Big 12 suddenly looks to be in trouble.

What do the eight remaining Big 12 teams do? Who knows. Would Kansas and Iowa State make sense in the Big Ten? For Kansas, the obvious draw is one of the nation’s premier basketball programs. Despite their struggles on the football field, the basketball history and passion is likely enough to entice Kevin Warren and company.

Iowa State fits geographically and has its arch rival, Iowa, already in the Big Ten conference. Nothing surrounding Kansas and Iowa State moving to the Big Ten is nearing completion, but both schools are reportedly looking at a change.

There is a sense that Iowa State is involved with the Big Ten as well.

KU has the head start here and would be trying to bring ISU along, if anything. https://t.co/0eWTGrjfeU
