No one cares about or wants Missouri

Sounds like the Big 10 has no interest in Missouri so that pretty much eliminates Mizzou as a major conference sports program. Their only hope is to beg the Big East to take them but I would think the Big East would be more interested in protecting their current schools (Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse and Notre Dame in sports other than football) and then going after Kansas.

In 2007, Missouri and Kansas played each other in late November with the No. 1 ranking on the line. In football. Next week, both will essentially be small conference teams, in all likelihood. No one really cares all that much about Missouri but given the historic nature of the Kansas basketball program, that's quite a drop.

Say, with Tom Izzo supposedly set to join the Cleveland Cavaliers as their new head coach tomorrow, maybe Michigan State can go out and get Bill Self. Why would Self want to stay at Kansas if they are headed to the Mountain West or Conference USA?
