The Coaches were closer....I think that other than on the Basketball court Johnny Orr and Norm Stewart were the best of friends.

What a load of nonsense. Mizzou cried about cheaters their whole history. They left with ongoing disputes in the KU football series tally and the KSU basketball tally. Tubbs won the Big 8 in Allen and cut down our nets. KSU tore down our goalposts. OU-osu hate each other. KU-MU nuff said.
Might want to also consider that it was old Big 8 schools like Colorado and Mizzou that cast deciding ballots against KC and Bob Frederik when the league ended.
