Possibly Mizzou could stay in the Big 12 for wrestling, kind of like Boise State is in the Pac 12. But probably too much bad blood on seperation for this to happen. This would be best for both parties. Missouri will have to go the Southern conference or EICWA for there National qualification. Maybe ACC or MAC would let them in.

What scares me about the SEC, is they are strong in the sunny sports like baseball, tennis, golf. Mizzou doesn't have a tennis team, so they could see pressure to switch to align with the conference. I think as long as Brian Smith is at Mizzou, wrestling is safe. He won't be there forever.
