If we're talking solely about athletics, your second statement about NU might hold weight. When you combine academics into the mix (which is exactly what the Big 10 is doing), Mizzou is the obvious choice over NU. Regardless, it would be a pretty big surprise if both of them weren't offered by the Big 10.

You don't think that if Texas showed interest in the Big Ten that they wouldn't jump up and offer it to them over Missouri? The point of my argument was that if Texas was interested in leaving the Big 12 then they'd be first in line for the Big Ten (or SEC). And thus I feel safe that Texas isn't looking to leave the Big 12.
My second statement was with regards to fan base vs media markets. Missouri has the better media markets, but Nebraska has the better fan base which should result into more overall viewers.
And Albion hit the MU academics is greater than NU academics argument you're suggesting. They seem pretty close to me.
