re: how much is paying your players helping your recruiting?

yea looks like Mizzou is trying to stay "adequate" in competitive comparison. I know some kids wills scoff at the notion this would affect their decision, yet we know that extra pocket change of a few hundred a month is going to matter to some others.

Obviously the SEC will be as competitive as any conference in this area, the SECN will provide that ability, and schools that have a short fall will wind up eating the difference in the facility arms race or otherwise not compete.

Another reason you should all be more than happy to be in the SEC.
