Sports Illustrated's Michael Rosenberg nails it. If the Big 12 blows up, the losers won't be Iowa State and Baylor and whomever else doesn't end up in a conference that's as good as their current situation. Everybody will lose. Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M will lose by not playing each other and their other longtime rivals. Missouri and KU will lose if they lose the Border War. K-State and KU will lose by not having the Sunflower Showdown. These schools are going to blow up the best possible conference situation they will ever have, and they're not even doing it over money.
