Is KK right in saying that the Cardinals and Rams are miles ahead of the Tigers when it comes to attention? More of an east coast scenario? |

Mizzou fans are butthurt because we've been trying desperately to get out of this shithole conference and join a better one that is more lucrative. Well now we are going to the SEC, the best athletic conference in the country, where we could make $30-40MM more annually in a stable conference. We will also be part of the SEC Network which will significantly increase exposure and revenues. Not to mention the benefit of recruiting the talent-rich Southeast, playing annual games against the most tradition-laden programs in the country, joining the SEC Academic Consortium, etc. It's terrible. Truly terrible. |

I may have a different thought on a good part of this but if it were ONLY about football then WVU may be better to have than Mizzou. Basketball, while not an important piece of the puzzle is in favor of WVU (at least lately).
Academics is a landslide victory in favor of Mizzou. The main thing we lose when Mizzou leaves is the television sets, and I honestly believe that the SEC wants them more for this piece of the equation than their football program. Do I WANT to see Mizzou leave? No, but I don't think the Big XII is going to go under because of it. I hate seeing the old rivalries die, but things change. |

He's dead wrong about the Rams. Hell, the Blues might be ahead of the Rams. The Rams are popular in STL when they're good and that's it. St. Louis is very much a major Mizzou town. It's not an MU/KU town (they don't really care about the rivalry; it's about on par with MU/Illinois over there), but it's absolutely a major MU town. |

Bolded part is the first correct thing you have said in this entire thread.

1. A viable Big XII (Adding of a couple good programs like TCU and WVU sure makes them look more viable than it appeared a month ago) 2. B1G. I've posted in this thread before and been told I'm an idiot, but in a perfect world I like how Mizzou fits in the B1G over how they fit in the SEC. 3. SEC. I think too many fans (and administrators, frankly) are being blinded by the bright lights of the SEC. I don't think it's a good fit culturally or academically and I don't really like the match-ups athletically. I understand the "Big XII is broken let's jump ship while we can" mentality, but I just think the cons overwhelm the pros. But it looks like we're going. Guess I'm going to have to start liking grits and sweet tea. |

Allowing ND, without its football program, into the Big XII would be a ridiculously big mistake.
