People may not be clamoring to see what Mizzou does but no on is exactly on pins and needles to see what the hell Nebraska is going to do.
They're both much more attractive as a package deal IMO.

The BigXII may very well cease to exist.
The official moves have yet to be made, but the Pac-10 is remaining open minded in their approach to expansion. One option still being considered: A full merger between the Big 12 and Pac-10 that would blow yesterday's news away but still raise plenty of questions while making teams like Iowa State, Baylor and Kansas feel a little more secure.
"There is an enormous amount of speculation about conference expansion right now and I think with the Pac-10 that anything is possible, all the way from remaining with the status quo, where we are today, to a full merger with the Big 12 and anything in between,'' Washington athletic director Scott Woodward told the Seattle Times on Thursday. "All possibilities are viable and open for discussion.''
A reminder: None of this would be anything the Big 12 brass are discussing -- or possibly even aware of -- this week in Kansas City, but the Pac-10 is making it clear they won't be happy with handing over the first move of conference realignment to the Big Ten.
And after yesterday's talk -- or lack thereof -- it's hard to be surprised by anything in relation to the Big 12's future.
