re: Will A&M and Mizzou get the treatment that Arky and USCe got

You serious? The SWC was done only 4 years after Arky left.

USC was a charter member of the ACC and left in the early 70s but its still going today.

If anybody blazed the trail to leave their conference, it was USC, not Arkansas.

Without Frank Broyles (Arkansas AD, Georgia Tech Grad) playing golf at Augusta (1989) with then SEC commissioner there never would've been an SEC Championship game and USC never would've been invited.

Coach Broyles tried to get Texas and Texas A&M to come along with us to form the first super conference. Without that Georgia boy at Arkansas things would've been very different.

It's all in his book with quotes from all the SEC power players back then. Of course the SWC only lasted a handful of years later because Texas and Texas A&M realized how much they screwed up and tried to build the same model with Nebraska, OU and Colorado all winning national titles at the time.
