I think you're being a homer. Missouri brings Saint Louis and Kansas City to the table. Nebraska doesn't have a major media market in the state. Texas subsidizes the entire conference as it is in terms of major markets. If they lose KC and Saint Louis, that's 2 of the 3 biggest markets outside of the state of Texas. If there's a lynch pin besides MU, it's Colorado. If they break once MU leaves, there will no longer be a Big XII. It just can't survive without a market outside of Texas.
