I still would prefer to bring back Mizzou and Nebraska. It's time we start re-balancing our lifetime record against the Fuskers.

As for realignment in general, with an assumption that revenue would be guaranteed to improve for every Big 12 school under a new TV deal + new teams added, I don't really understand the common argument against losing our beloved round robin format.
A) Either rename the conference, or get back to 12 teams. This branding discrepancy is wreaking havoc on my mindbrain.
B) How is it a bad thing to avoid someone like OU every other year and position ourselves for an easier non-con win early each season, thus climb to a better bowl? Let's not allow our recent upswing in football quality cloud our judgement - we would beg to not face OU or UT during the Mac or Rhoads days. This round robin "one true champion" mindset does not pay real world dividends for our conference in regards to bowl/playoff selection. It's just an unsubstantiated marketing flex for the Presidents and ADs.
C) Please gods, never go 14 or 16. The SEC and Big 10 schedules are in fact nonsense. Or at least why not just rally a vote for the NCAA approve a 13-game season (a 10th conference game)?
