If something happened where Missouri, Colorado, and Nebraska left, I think we'd then see how committed the Texas schools are to the Big 12. If those three left, the replacements looked bleak, and the SEC offered tons of cash, it would certainly become interesting quickly.

I think KU will be fine without the Border War financially. It's just a matter of whether they want to give up a traditional rivalry. Of course if it's a Big 12 rule and Missouri knows it, it is really the Tigers that are giving it up for more money. It seems to me that the Mizzou fans on here can live with that result. There aren't that many non-conference rivalries that don't involve Notre Dame anyway. Florida-FSU and Clemson-South Carolina are the only two at the top of my head. Oklahoma-Texas used to be one, and I imagine will always be one even if the teams split (unless A&M is also not in their conference, then I think they would play A&M over Oklahoma).
