Oh, and I completely agree with you. I would have accepted an invitation to the ACC in a heartbeat had they come calling. As many have pointed out, as amazing as nine straight conference championships are, at some point it starts saying just as much about the conference as it does about the team.
In a perfect world, it would be amazing to be in a conference as you're describing, but since we've signed our rights away to the Big 12 for the immediate future, that type of fantasy will not come to pass any time soon.
And if I have to choose between the teams in the Big 12 or the history we have against MU, I'm definitely picking MU.
