Also, don't forget that Kansas still has their in-state rival, KSU. The Sunflower Showdown certainly is not as big as the Border War, but it will likely be the primary rival if Missouri does indeed leave the Big 12.
I'm honestly not too concerned about the Big 12 going anywhere. Texas and Texas A&M seem to be committed to the conference and so long as they are there will be a conference. If anything happens I think the Big 12 and Pac 10 merge into a mega conference. There will be a few teams dropped, but I don't think KU will be one of those given how much they bring in with basketball revenue.

That would really make it clear that the Big 12 decisions are being run out of Austin, TX. No Kansas you can't have your biggest basketball and football rival because we have to stick together. Now go take your 8 million of uneven revenue sharing while we bring in twice that playing Oklahoma. To make up for it the Texas legislature has decided to let you play Baylor or A&M another time each year. It's this arrogance that is causing Mizzou and Nebraska to want to get out of this league.
