1. Money 2. Scheduling convenience That's it. The rivalry thing is woven into the scheduling convenience. If any of you think that any other reason trumps either of those two items, you are deluded. DJ's point is spot on. Look at what South Carolina and Arkansas have been able to build (both facilities and program) since joining the SEC? It's sick. Both schools are far better off than they were. This has NOTHING to do with grits or sweet tea. Eat and drink what you want...I want what is best for Mizzou, period. |

I'm sure a move to the SEC & the creation of an SEC network will immediately put MU into the top 10 in profit for football.

Current deal is expected to pay out around $18 million/team at 14 teams. However, the SEC is expected to renegotiate first tier rights with the addition of 31 million people to its home-state footprint (which is around 60 percent of current footprint, if I remember correctly). This should bump things up to around $24 million/school. The rest of the potential bump would come from the creation of an SEC network, which Slive plans to do with the increased TV markets. I think $30-40 million is an extremely high estimate. Something like $30 million total is more likely when all is said and done. It's hard to project on these contracts, though. A lot of moving parts. |

If you had said $30 million total, I could see that. |

They've been angling for an exit for years. For big money schools with football programs like that, there will be options. They were just very nearly gone. It will happen eventually. You guys won't understand until you come home to the note on the kitchen table, but trust me, they don't love you. They've been running around on you for years.

Texas and TCU were in the SW conference together. TCU being left out was political, much like TT being admitted.

Are the mass of MU fans glad to be leaving because of the angst over the Texas schools running the conference, or are they just wanting a fresh start in the SEC? |

It's pretty incredible, it really is. That said - there was nothing about it that couldn't be duplicated. The stadium was actually a relic (they did a 'Soldier Field' style facelift by adding an additional facade around the outside of the stadium). But they just built a Hockey Complex that was just stunning - HOCKEY! The basketball arena is next. And all of it is around a massive quad that is simply stunning. The entire area is a HUGE boost for the overall attractiveness of the University. The proposed renovations at Arkansas are similar. If this was couched as "Move to the SEC and they'll upgrade every building, all the equipment and all overall attractiveness of the University" it would be pretty hard for people to call those that were in favor of the move a bunch of greedy assholes - but that's exactly what a "money grab" means in this context. This is all done to make the University better. |
