Like I said, the whole "who cares more" thing is about superiority.... KU FB would cling onto beating Mizzou, but KU BB just wants to escape Columbia with a victory. And it's the opposite for MU. I've lived with MU fans, and of course they're everywhere around KC, but it doesn't mean I really care about the rivalry.
If MU goes to the SEC, of course they aren't going to miss playing KU in football every season, and I don't see why they would want to schedule an out of conference rival when the SEC is already going to be brutal. And I don't think KU would miss MU in BB, which is probably one reason Self said they won't go out of their way to schedule them.

It doesn't go away at all, but it's not as intense when you don't have to go to work the next day with fans of the other team. That's just human nature.
As far as the conference schedule being brutal in the SEC, that's why Mizzou would want to play a non-con against KU. We could use a cupcake to fatten ourselves up.
Truthfully, the KU/MU game would be the biggest game of the year for Kansas football. It would be about the 5th biggest for Mizzou football.
