"Basically", huh? Where did you read that?

No one is comparing Mizzou to OU or Texas, so not sure what the point of that comment was for, but okay.

And again, your comments have all been to support why you think they will maintain the current contracts, when the comment you originally got your panties in a bunch about was when I suggested replacing A&M and Mizzou with rag tag teams like Louisville to get to 12 would not call for increasing tier 1 and 2 contracts meaningfully so as not to dilute the current teams. You've danced around this but have yet to provide any compelling reasons for this illogical viewpoint.

Really? That kinda makes KU irrelevant doesn't it?

Exactly.

And that's why I've decided that most of the Nubs fans are pretty much pricks. They sit around and get their rocks off on the struggles of the XII.

I don't really give a good god damn what happens to this conference if Mizzou leaves it. If they make more money without us than they would have with us - bully for them.

I only care about Mizzou. I'm not going to sit around and say "I hope we can bring KU along" or any of that mealy-mouthed crap. What I want to do is see Mizzou go to a stable program that will help this University, this community and our athletic programs take a step forward. That's it and that's all.

The XII can make as much money as it wants after we're gone, but I'm still going to be happier where we land.

I'm actually going to backtrack and admit I'm wrong. I don't know why I thought Mizzou wasn't important, probably something I mis-read a while ago. Missouri is more important than I gave them credit for.

The Big 12 can probably replace Texas A&M and still command close to SEC/PAC12 money in 2016 when tier 1 comes up. They probably can not also lose Mizzou without taking some kind of a hit.

Preach on. While I certainly wouldn't begrudge anyone else success, I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't laugh just a bit when the next round of Big East/Mountain West rumors cause urine to trickle all over the midwest.

If I were a Missouri fan I'm not sure I would wish to join the SEC. I'm going from being the fourth or fifth best team in the Big XII to being the tenth or eleventh best team in the SEC but perhaps its time for Missouri to go back to its natural level which is bad to mediocre instead mediocre to good. Lets not forget that this is now the golden age of Missouri football.

Uh-oh.

Amen brother. I care about what happens to Mizzou. Whether the Big XII goes belly up, or becomes the richest conference in the country, it does not really matter to me. Especially considering that no matter how "stable" the Big XII becomes, it only takes someone calling on UT or OU to start the implosion again.

I would ask that the word "basketball" be banned in this thread. Just don't even type the letters to spell the word.

Mizzou heading off to the SEC...visualized.
