Not at the top if you're trying to win a title. Let the bottom teams be decent and the top teams be very good instead of unbeatable.

I don't care about the league, I care about ISU. If other teams get worse while we get better I am happy.
There will still be enough talent to make the Big 12 a tough schedule, wins mean more than schedule strength.
You want to have a deep league with everyone worse than you. It does no good to have a team like KU and lose to them twice and not get the league title.
That depends on the goal. If it's to win as many games as possible, you're right. If it's to become a better team that's more prepared for the postseason, that's not necessarily so.
or by winning games, playing basketball that is fun for the players and getting better recruits.
Winning a regular season Big 12 title is the first goal. I don't want the Big 12 to be the SEC, but I would love to be in KU's spot this year. A super deep league with nobody who is as good as you over the whole season.
You don't think playing in a highly competitive league means anything to recruits?
We don't have to be in an easier league for the first two things you listed to occur.
Yes it helps. But we already have tough teams in the Big 12, we don't need TCU, TT and WV to be good. It's nice to have some teams we can count on for guaranteed wins.
This league has three potential top 15 teams in Texas, Kansas, and yours truly, Iowa State. Oklahoma State and Baylor won't suck, Tech is finally going to be somewhat relevant. The only teams that will suck in the league next year are WVU, KSU, and TCU. And the former two won't suck THAT much.
