Anyway, back on (sub)topic... I'm still interested to hear why KU owes Mizzou a non-interrupted continuation of the rivalry, considering that Mizzou is making KU's life more complicated right now. I am sure it would likely be renewed in a many years, but it seems awfully greedy for teams to leave conferences in a lurch then blame their rivals when their rivals don't do them the *favor* of continuing to play them. I am interested in how KU's fans feel. I bet it is overwhelmingly against continuing the rivalry in the near term.
