But the fact is that TCU and WVU are superior football programs to the two schools leaving.

oh well, they'll figure it out
According to prevailing logic, this is horrible for the existing teams. The conference is getting harder to play in. How will KU and KSU survive having to play Texas, Oklahoma, ISU, TCU, and WV? The path to victory is to keep yourself in an AQ conference that is as easy as possible, right?

The "figuring out" will be when UT and OU leave, as they have been persistently trying to do for years...

I imagine the Big12 really starts looking to get another team to make 12 too.
That would be interesting....forcing their way to make a new Big XII North and South again against the desires of UT and OU.

Yeah, Mizzou would have been more competitive in the Big East - but not by leaps and bounds. They weren't that competitive in the Big XII.
Not by leaps and bounds? Mizzou would have won the Big East multiple times. Hell, Ron Prince would have won the Big East. It has been an absolute joke of a league.

Justifying whether a league is good or not based one OU bowl game is a leap even you can't justifiably take.

KU fans don't care. Basketball school.

K-State, I think we'll manage to live on borrowed time until Snyders "Contract from Below" runs out.

Well in a way I am happy the Big East will fold as a conference in regards to football. Having them as an AQ was a joke for the past few years.

It's a conditional offer.

If MU doesn't go, the IIX stays at 10 teams and continues to suck.

If we leave, you guys get WVU and expand to 12 teams (which was where I wanted to be in the first place, but whatever).

See? Win/win.

But really, KSU fans and KU fans will still want to say the MU folks are butthurt or some shit like that. I'm not sure why - we got exactly what we were after. Near as I can tell, the MU fans are elated.

As to the rest of the IIX; y'all can have it.

Some sources as saying it is not a conditional offer, that WVU will join whether Mizzou stays or goes. Could make things interesting.

I'm loving these moves. If we can get BYU and Louisville then the conference is signifcantly better in football and basketball. There should be some great new rivalries and interesting matchups coming our way.

This thread got some burst back, even though the AIDs is showing.

That worked out well for the Big East.

Chip Brown just reported that MU is to leave for the SEC in 2013.

Well, hopefully that saved them a few million.

Ron Prince got his shit pushed in multiple times by Big East teams.

Meh - I think Mizzou would have won the title once or twice in the Big East. That would be much better than what they've done in the Big XII.

Yea having success in it doesn't mean a whole lot.
