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).

1. MU/KU will continue on. Only thing that's really lost is one basketball game. It's not that big of a change in regards to games played.
2. Mizzou ends up with some really good regional rivalries in the Big Ten scenario. Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois are a short drive away for the fan base.
