KU to Pac-16 and MU to Big-16 probably would be the only real stable options over the long haul.

That's as simple as it gets. Petro is huge dolt. Kinda like hawkchief.

Texas runs the show and they pay us pretty well to pick the cotton. I'll take that (un)certainty for another 5 years. On top of that, the Cats have no issues when it comes to puching the fuckers in the mouth.

every conference can't just be blown up ... even with Mega Conferences there has to be so many left.

so the Big 10,Pac-10,ACC,SEC are going to be only BCS conferences left and have 30 teams each?

Same for MU. If the Big-10 option is next to dead, I'd rather be in the Big East.

These schools don't need to exist solely to service Texas, and it's not going to get better. Only worse.

Disagree.

Missouri's position seems to be: we think we can be viable without Texas. Major power? Nah. Viable? Yes.

correct

as a ku fan, it provides the platform for KU to operate it's crown jewel - the bball program...which routinely fists UT....
