[Husker] Big XII to Dissolve?

[Mike Jaixen]

Did anybody catch SportsNightly tonight?  They
interviewed a reporter from the Boulder Daily Camera
who said that there are reports that the Southern
division schools are considering bolting the Big XII
and reforming the Southwest Conference, with Oklahoma,
Oklahoma State, and possibly Arkansas joining the
Texas schools.  There is some internal pressure in the
Texas state government to get schools such as TCU back
into a BCS-quality conference.

I couldn't find the story on the dailycamera.com site,
and don't see anything elsewhere.  Obviously, any
attempt to break up the Big XII would be horrible for
Nebraska, as Nebraska would have a hard time finding a
conference home.  Colorado would probably move to the
Pac-10, and Missouri would probably be a candidate to
be the 12th team in the Big 10, allowing them to have
a conference title game.  Kansas might be attractive
to either a new Southwest Conference or Pac 10 because
of basketball.  Kansas State and Iowa State would
likely be huge losers in this as well.
