I have conflicting feelings about this though. I definitely don't want to be in the same conference as UT when this is all said and done, but I wouldn't mind OU moving to the north division. That would give us (Mizzou) consistent top-level competition that would serve us well in the long run.
i don't understand not wanting to be with UT

they have high level football and bball programs, a national brand, and a rich recruiting area

as a KU fan, I want KU stapled to UT's backside...if the price of KU being in the bcs, having access to texas recruits (without which KU football is fooked), and making real football money is UT getting a bigger cut...so what?

plus, UT provides a real bball power for KU to spar with, and brings top 20 recruits to the big 12 yearly which helps the leagues perception with all recruits...
