If KU does not desire to play UMo or vice-versa, then it was not much of a rivalry to begin with and they wont.

Missouri walked away from the rivalry so please drop the pretense that it's all KUs fault. They chose money over tradition, and now they want to have their cake and eat it too. No.

Be serious. I am a neutral observer. I hold no brief for or against KU or UMo. The real thing going on here is that KU is afraid it will end up in a mid to low major conference ala Memphis. UMo was in that danger too and acted proactively.

I understand the KU worry. If UTx bails, the Big 10 is done. As it is now, it is becoming more and more the becoming more and more like a mid to low major conference.

But one way KU can hang with the big boys some still is to continue their rivalry with UMo. And again I just looked it up, GaTech bailed on the SEC and UGa and GaTech never missed a game. It appears UMo is willing to continue its series with KU. So the only issue is is KU too small and jealous to do so.
