I may have a different thought on a good part of this but if it were ONLY about football then WVU may be better to have than Mizzou. Basketball, while not an important piece of the puzzle is in favor of WVU (at least lately).
Academics is a landslide victory in favor of Mizzou.
The main thing we lose when Mizzou leaves is the television sets, and I honestly believe that the SEC wants them more for this piece of the equation than their football program.
Do I WANT to see Mizzou leave? No, but I don't think the Big XII is going to go under because of it.
I hate seeing the old rivalries die, but things change.
