If there's anyone who has tunnel vision on this, it's you. Second, if UT and OU leave the Big 12-2-2+2, it will be to the PAC, and they likely will take a few schools with them. They would end up in a division that is much more regional than the PAC as a whole. Arizona, Arizona St., Colorado, UT, OU, oSu, Tech, Kansas all are possibilities. Third, the ultimate thing is... the Big 12-2-2+2 is a house built on sinking sand. It might stand for 2 months, 2 years or 2 decades. But it's built on a central support beam - Texas - that is incredibly shaky and has proven it places no level of care in ensuring this conference survives. Attempts to shore up the foundation of the league - granting of TV rights to the league long-term, etc. - were not received. So Missouri left early because it had an opportunity from the most stable, lucrative conference rather than risk being stuck in the situation it looked like Mizzou, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Baylor were going to face during the first round of realignment.

I don't know what that list is. KU has around a $90 million dollar 3rd tier deal in place with IMG. I'm not sure what MU has. Do you know what it is?

But I thought regular season titles meant everything, and the tourney was nothing but a crap shoot? You beaker fans sure are confusing....

Missouri's deal brings in a shade over $4 million currently, though I expect it will be set up a little differently moving forward. The big payout is the eventual creation of the SEC network, which will lock up third-tier rights as well and significantly increase Mizzou's number for that margin.

IMO the tourney is no crapshoot. KU has had many blunders in the tourney and it's not a good thing for the school. However when you simply are there every single season in such a high ranking it's very difficult to no come up short from time to time. |

I only mentioned it because KU fans seem to use both arguments whenever it suits them, and I find that humorous. |
