I thought Mizzou was smart to get out when they did, just because if Texas leaves the conference collapses. Tough spot to be in. I could see them voting for Texas and OU though just because it makes the conference stronger and there's no way they call the shots in the SEC.
Not sure what happens to the other Big 12 teams though. Iowa State could make some sense in the Big Ten athletically. KU basketball would be an amazing get too, but their football team is just brutal. Yeah Rutgers exists but they were a regular bowl team when they joined the Big Ten. KU would add zero value if football playoffs are the driving factor in a realignment. But teams would have to go somewhere.
Either way it'd be bad for KC. Instead of hosting a conference tourney every year they might be fighting for scraps from another conference. Unless the remaining teams just stick it out and try to add some AAC teams or something.
