At least for awhile ... until they see what impact ND has on their t.v. market.

I'd have to think this is true.
As much as MU would add with TV sets they bring nothing with athletic accomplishment (no national titles to add to the count for commercials)...
Shoot, you add Notre Dame and we're talking about getting the BTN on in New York City.....there's some real money.
Plus you get the mother load of prestige.
If ND joins the Big 10, MU and NEB should get their Big 12 boarding passes printed and get on that plane.
