re: Still don’t understand Missouri or South Carolina being invited to the conference

Lived in Stl and attended Mizzou when They played Arkansas bball in 80-90s. First hand nobody in stl knew anything about Arkansas. Secondly, those were big 12 days. Outside of own conference it was a big 10 broadcasts. Definitely knew who Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama was, but outside of that no clue. Currently I would say KC is still big 12 lean and stl divided between sec and big 10.
