You've said, "We want nothing to do with the Big 12". Guess what numbnuts? KU is in the Big 12, and we're accommodating you.
And all of a sudden, the Big 12 is a LOT more stable.

Oklahoma was an Oklahoma State away from being in the PAC-12. Seriously. Oklahoma reps passed legislature that bound OU to OSU, and the PAC didn't want the academics (or lack thereof) that OSU would bring to the conference.
There is a lot, LOT, of evidence that Texas would've quickly followed suit in that move with OU.
The members of this conference have constantly kept their options open publicly, while privately flirting with any decent suitor who would listen. You can strawman this and claim that Missouri's Big 10 flirtation started it, but that's logically wrong.
