Anyway, I know Memphis recruits at a huge level despite the CUSA affiliation, but that's with huge regional recruiting advantages, entrance requirements that basically amount to: "Can you spell your name" and an AD that has been tied pretty strongly to blatant cheating (Derrick Rose, anyone?). Would ku eventually have to resort to similar tactics to stay where it is?

Well Kansas has been the only viable basketball program in the Big 12 (maybe Texas) and they haven't had any trouble recruiting with the best, sending players to the NBA, making Final Fours and winning a title.
So no, moving to the MWC won't hurt Kansas basketball that much imo. They'll soon be setting the all time record for consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and I don't think that's in jeporday either.
But I don't think the Big 12's breaking up so what does it matter?
