I think the Big Six Bits Conference (3/4 of the Big XII) is going to stand firm. If they have assurances that the amount promised per school won't go down as a 9 member league, the incentive to leave isn't great for Mizzou. They compete better in the Big Six Bits, they get paid roughly the same and they don't have to be looked at as "the add on" in a conference that barely likes to acknowledge Arkansas if it doesn't have to.
I'm breathing easier as KU fan with the Trammel speculation if Mizzou does bolt. Last time around, Scott was very excited about the basketball package he could negotiate if Kansas was included. Didn't think Tech would get squeezed out for us, but there apparently is more value in KU as a foursome with OU-OSU-Texas. Still think a Texas-OU-KU-MU package to the PAC is a homerun, but if our possibilities are the PAC or the devil we know, I'm happy with that.
