He was hired on to help missou move to the Big 10. Good hire.

Interesting scenario but the bigger clarity will be the replacement.

Well, it was critical we hire a chancellor that is a big supporter of athletics, and knows how to raise money. We've invested a lot in joining the SEC, and we can't afford some academic wonk in that position. From that standpoint, he seems like a good choice.

It's a pretty splashy hire, IMO.

I like the sound of that.

Rumor has it Rivals lowered his rating to a 4 star once Mizzou made the offer.

ETA: Son of a bitch, someone already said it on TB. Credit to Zoumiz.

They won't be allowed to take their 2013 SECC trophy with them. It'll have to be vacated.

Chancellor needs to be friendly to athletics as well as being competent in actually running the university. It doesn't matter a ton, but it's better than having someone that hates athletics like Mizzou had in the 80s.

Yup, Mizzou athletics were sent to the dark ages in the 80s and 90s because of Administrations that belittled the importance of athletics.

I'm not bent. It's just stupid. If it's funny, I'll laugh.
