Obviously WVU brings much more athletic accomplishment to the conference than Missouri but that doesn't mean KU fans like the setup. Most everyone preferred the original arrangement.

There were quite a few that felt like the Big 12 lost little in losing MU and aTm and adding WVU and TCU made the conference stronger. Granted, this might have just been bitterness over MU and aTm leaving but lets not pretend like a lot did not feel that way. This was not just KU fans, but fans from all the teams in the Big 12 felt this way. We will see in a few years how bad KU wants to renew the rivalry as the Border War should continue on as an OOC game every year (although it would hurt Missouri's overall SOS).
