Now, if KU had a chance to go to the SEC or would have to join, say, C-USA, sure I'd rather see them in the SEC (wow, would our football get killed). But, at the end of the day, I'd rather a bunch of the Big XII just all head together to, say, the Big East and keep a lot of those rivalries together.

This is how I feel w/ WVU and the Big East, too. It would be great to land in the SEC or ACC, get better bowl/TV money, and have a seat when the music stops playing. But, I'd much rather play in the solidified Big East with our traditional rivals than try to fabricate new ones with SEC teams (we at least have some rivalries with ACC teams like Maryland/VPI/BC/Miami, to some degree, so that would be tolerable).
I'd honestly rather play in the Big East with the Big 12 North leftovers forming a Western Division with TCU and maybe Louisvile and/or Cincy (depending on how many teams we end up with. Plus, adding Kansas, KSU, and maybe Missouri to Big East basketball would be pretty sick.
