Re: PAC 10 - they, along with the BXII, are the only conferences w/o revenue sharing (per sports radio programming heard this morning).

However, Missouri and Nebraska will dramatically increase revenues if they are invited to join the B10. In Missouri's case, they will go from around 8M annually to 23M annually. Unfortunately for MU, that extra money probably will not give them any better odds at consistently competing with OSU and PSU, much less finishing atop the B10. Plus MU will probably see diminishing recruiting opportunities in the state of Texas. That will be a huge hit.

Recruiting pipelines aren't going to be hurt by switching to the Big 10, I don't think. I doubt MU would be on Texas TV less in the Big 10 than they are in the Big 12.

As an aside, I think it would be hilarious for Iowa State to be stuck in the Big 12 while D1 programs in NE and MO move to the Big 10.
