Then again, the remaining schools could sing "Kumbaya" and tell us everything is fine in the heartland. That seemed to work really well last summer.

WHAT MORE COULD A COLLEGE STUDENT NEED?
There isn't a single BCS conference school that would join the Big 12 right now, so remove any ideas of poaching a team like Louisville. And if you think Arkansas would leave the SEC—as I've heard a few Kansas fans mention for geographic reasons — you must live in a nice world because that isn't happening.

Other possible replacements wouldn't be worth their share of the television contract. It's a sticky situation, to say the least. A situation that will probably doom the 16-year-old conference.

"He's got a really unique sense of humor," Grove said. "He doesn't
always try to be funny but he is
wair funnier than he thinks he is"
"As far as from a golf stand point he's a really good putter," Grove said. "His biggest strength is definitely his putting. He also has a really great attitude, which is very important to the game of golf."
In addition to his sense of humor, Catt also brings key golf skills to the KU golf team.
Catt joined the team as a freshman last year but did not get into the lineup very often because of more experienced upperclassmen. However, Grove has high expectations for him after watching his performance at KU as well as in high school.
"He is from Kansas and I saw
him play a hand full of times in high school and I was actually quite happy to give him a spot on the team during his senior year of high school."
Catt's intelligence was also a draw for the KU golf team. Catt was National Merit Scholar finalist. "He's really, really smart kid," Grove said.
Catt played high school golf for Shawnee Mission Northwest being named to the All Metro golf team as a junior and senior. He also broke a 30-year-old school record by shooting a 5-under-par 66 as a junior.
