probably better positioned than we are for the NIL era.
KU is *the* main attraction in its state, and it's a lot closer to Kansas City than MU is. I think the corporations there would be more willing to endorse KU than MU. There's STL, but it isn't really a college town. MU is a distant 3rd to the Cards and Blues, and companies there might be worried about alienating Illini and SLU alums.
KU will probably be 20 to 25 in NIL capacity, whereas MU will be closer to 30 and have to compete in a league loaded with NIL powerhouses.
