If you don't want to play in the league why should the teams still in that league care about playing you?
It doesn't make any sense.

It was acrimonious and it was personal. Both for Texas toward aTm & KU (& KState for that matter) toward MU. That's plain as day to anyone paying attention.
As to the last question there are many benefits to the schools playing each other. The hoops & football games would generate $, it would be fun for the fans on both sides & frankly it'd be good for college football & college basketball in general. Tradition is one of the things that make both sports great. If any element of it can be preserved through this climate of change it's good for both IMO. That's why they "should". The question you should ask is why they'd necessarily "have" to. They don't & KU doesn't need to put on a defense as to why they aren't playing. At least not to me. I am just giving an opinion as opposed to lobbying per se.
