					<description><![CDATA[It is an upgrade in football, but not in many other sports. TCU has about 7500 undergrads which is insanely small for a Big 12 school. Baylor is the smallest school in the conference and they have something like 14,000 undergrads. 

However, Missouri makes a lot of sense for the Big Ten. It would make the Big Ten have twelve schools (so maybe the Big Ten would switch their name?), and that would allow the conference to split up into two divisions with six teams each, hence the conference would have a Conference Championship game for football.

Plus, the Big Ten would be capturing the St.Louis and Kansas City markets, and Big Ten teams would get to showcase themselves to th KC and STL recruits. 

I think the Big 12 would be smarter to pick up a school like BYU which has 38,000 students]]></description>
