Things will play out over the next decade, but I don't think there is any doubt that the loss of aTm and Missouri has really delivered a gut punch to the Big 12. Losing Nebraska to the Big 10 has obviously hurt a lot more than they had thought.
D1 has said that they don't think more than TCU and OSU even make the field of 64, probably the worst season of baseball in that conference in two decades.
Meanwhile you have aTm as a national seed and Missouri leading the East for much of the year, and a shoo-in for the field of 64.
You know Texas and Oklahoma will eventually return to prominence and so will Baylor. But the rest of that conference? TCU has pretty much man-handled the second tier of that league and more than taken care of Texas.
