Kansas City keeps Big 12 men’s basketball tournament through 2020

The headline says it all. The Big 12 men’s basketball tournament is staying where it belongs — in Kansas City through 2020. So even when the conference’s leadership can’t help itself from making missteps (controversial replay limits?), it goes and totally redeems itself. Well, sort of.

This seemed improbable after the University of Missouri bolted the Big 12 for the SEC. But here we are. And the tournament is healthy and thriving in Kansas City.
