With Missouri to the Big 10 being somewhat of a foregone conclusion (and Nebraska rumored to be considered as well), what happens to the ISUs and KSUs of the Big XII? CU will likely bolt to the Pac 10. Texas will have its own television network (you heard that correctly) and doesn't care what conference it is in because it ultimately doesn't matter (although they won't go to the SEC due to academics or lack thereof). KSU has the advantage that they are (apparently) tied to KU as one cannot join a conference without the other. If that was not the case, KSU would be screwed as they have very little to offer a conference; their academics are brutal and their geographic location isolates them from just about everyone.
ISU has better academics, but they offer very little in terms of athletics. Right now, they aren't being mentioned much at all in conference realignment. Any ideas on where they would go? Perhaps the Big 12 would remain by adding TCU and some other schools, but if three big blocks of the Big 12 leave, it's difficult to see the league remaining intact, especially with Texas assuming even more power than they currently have (is that even possible?). Anyway, thoughts?
