For me, mostly the former. There is no security with Texas holding all the cards here in the long term. There just isn't. It will be fun playing new teams and venues, kinda like watch Nebraska go against teams in the B1G.

Basically, you're saying is that you don't pay attention to college football.

Yes, because Texas is THE end all to recruiting. There are no good college players anywhere else but Texas. And really, what Texas kid would want to play outside the Big XII, right?

Do you follow college football recruiting closely? Have you read interviews with recruits from Texas about Missouri in the Big 12 vs. Missouri in the SEC? And I'm not upset about WVU. Good for them. And good for the Big 12. I just think many are vastly overselling the Big East as a football conference. It has been pretty weak since losing Miami and Va. Tech to the ACC. |

This is an opportunity to really improve the program a great deal. It might backfire, we might get destroyed - shit could happen. But you can't pass on the opportunity to greatly improve the University here. |

Of course its a long way to the top, this will be the football equivalent of the Manhattan project for Missouri. But its awesome to see the school welcoming that challenge. We are excited because we look down the road at things like playing an exciting conference schedule and playing with those teams each year. Maybe a stadium expansion. Bowl respect. Being title contenders one day. There is really no down side. This is a promising new era. |

Big East sucks, and WVU is doing the same thing Mizzou is doing: Trading in their chance at a BCS game for more stability. Mizzou won't sniff a BCS game playing in the SEC. WVU probably won't sniff one in the Big 12 unless they have a KSU-esc run and play amazing when it counts. |
