I think they understand that but would rather still have two MWC schools than one major and one mid-major. KU will change its tune when this becomes reality though.
I still stand by what I said earlier this week, even more so now in the light that MU may not be in the first phase of Big Ten expansion. MU, KU, K-State, Iowa State and Baylor should convene an immediate meeting in Kansas City, draw up a list of commissioner candidates and an invite list. It's every team for themselves.
Call BYU, Utah, TCU, Memphis, Houston, Boise State, Colorado State, etc. from the MWC, CUSA and WAC. You can have a 12-14 team conference that would qualify for a BCS bid in year one based on the BCS formula and would immediately be just one notch below the BCS conferences and one notch above the mid-majors. It would be more TV money and more prestige. It would be a drop for the Big 12 schools and a steup up for the other conferences. But it would be better for everyone.
I don't think that will happen though, because I think the Big 12 schools are all looking for their own life rafts. They are all going to try and claw their way into the best existing conference they can.
