$900K per year isn't enough for viable institutions to stay tied to a floundering conference.
There's little question that MU and KU will end up in one of the following conferences:
Pac 10
Big 10
SEC
Big East
Any of these will be better options than ceding even more power to Texas and bringing inferior universities into the conference.

I think you misunderstand. Memphis isn't trying to recruit schools to Conf USA. They're trying to get out of Conference USA by moving to the likes of the Big 12 or Big East. Memphis by itself is far from a turd. It's in a decent sized market, with a big time basketball program and a football program that would improve in a BCS conference. It would also begin to create access to a new recruiting area. They're not Texas or OU, but Memphis would be better than some of the MWC teams that have been rumored.
