I don't really care which we end up: MWC, Big East, or the remains of the Big 12 + new friends as long as it is one of those 3! If we end up in the MAC or CUSA, we are in a world of hurt.
The key is keeping the "family" together; whomever is left out of the Pac-10 & Big 10 needs to stick together (looks like KU, KState, Mizzou, Baylor, & ISU). Those 5 have some clout with MWC and the Big East but once we start stabbing each other in the back and saying "only take me" then they can divide and conquer, which is really what caused this whole mess to begin with.
The conferences that will thrive from here on out are the ones that swear (and keep) loyalty to each other. Once 1 school bails, the whole thing comes unglued...
