The Big 12 screwed up in 2016 when they had the opportunity to go to 16 teams. They elected to stay at 10 for currently more money per team. Eventually they could have made more in a 16 teams conference with a new TV contract. They could not see far enough into the future.

OU likely would rather stay in the B12, but they know they need to stay hitched to Texas for security. The only thing that could have avoided this was if somehow the top teams in either the Pac 12 or ACC would have jumped to the B12 back in 2016, but that was probably a pipe dream. Clemson's emergence and ND quasi-joining solidified that conference. |

Kansas, Kansas St., Oklahoma St, Iowa St, and so on. They do not have enough of a following to generate a TV contract draw. They all need to be part of a larger conference so that the sum can be more than its parts. It is the only for them to be financially viable. |

If Mizzou isn’t calling the BIG right now, they should.

Mizzou is NOT leaving the SEC if Texas and OKlahoma join. They’d be crazy too. It’s the biggest $$$$ league in college sports and is only getting bigger. Regardless of where they finish, that money allows them to do a LOT for their university going forward. Besides, as a Mizzou fan, I would welcome bringing back Oklahoma as a regular game. We already recruit against them anyway. **** Texas, but it is what it is. They’ll have to fall in line in the SEC. There are bigger dicks swinging around in the SEC than they ever had to deal with in the Big 12.
Like it or not, college football rules the colleges sports landscape. Mizzou has a better chance of being competitive (not top tier, mind you) in thr SEC than they ever would in the BIG10. Their recruiting would be crippled permanently if they left the SEC. Forget recruiting Texas. No more opportunity to dominate in-state recruiting (which they’re finally working towards doing under Drink) and make no mistake, the SEC brand is a big draw in that. Yeah, it gets a little harder if OK is in the SEC too, but nothing like competing with Ohio State, Michigan’s, Illinois, etc in the north. They have some in roads in Georgia and Florida too, which they completely lose if they leave the SEC. So to summarize, there is absolutely ZERO reason for Mizzou to consider leaving the SEC and joining the BIG10. They have a seat at the Big Boys table and need to stay right where they are to continue to be secure in the university’s future. |

There’s a reason Kansas won a ridiculous 14 straight Big 12 titles or whatever it was. Helps when you routinely get to beat up on the orphaned step children. But if that satisfies you all, more power to you. I’d rather have a high chair at the big boys table than a throne at the kiddie pool. But to each his own . . . . . |
