It's kind of a new problem. It was originally held over our head because we were jumping from a sinking ship. The Big 12 was absolutely a sinking ship when we jumped. They held it up as a way for us to stay. The Big 12 (texas led) media blitz over Mizzou leaving the Big 12 destroying the Kansas City economy was huge.

I think it was them trying to keep us around. Now, I think it's them not trying to admit they (kU/Texas/Big 12) were wrong and that they (kU) really want it to survive, but not stepping back from their initial position.

The kU/MU rivalry created this great atmosphere in the KC metro area, they said it would disappear if we left. It's pretty obvious we both want it to continue, but for them to say they'd play us again would be admitting they were wrong. The Deloss/Texas led rebellion against Mizzou has failed, and it just takes a while for them to realize it. If Texas and aTm are playing (which was a similar situation) it makes it more likely to happen.

It will take a while.

That being said, is this Texas/Aggie game thing an April fools thing, or what?

It's an April Fool's joke.

Nothing further needs to be said.
