If you are getting your opinion from the shite that is posted on Tigerboard you need to walk away and never visit that site again. The whole concept that Mizzou wanted the Big 10 is stupid. The reality of Mizzou's situation is the fans wanted out of the Big 12. The school administration was pro-Big 12 until August of last year. The Missouri State Governor, (Who by the way is a complete arse-Hat) Wanted Missouri to join the Big 10. A few fans said yeah that sounds like a great idea because the Big 10 is actually 11 teams and they need a 12th team so that they can even out their conference. The whole conversation from our idiot governor died when Nebraska was chosen to join the Big 10. Rumors went around saying that Mizzou would have been chosen if they had agreed to the graduated payout that Nebraska accepted. Don't know if this is true or not. When Texas A&M decided to apply for membership in the SEC that really got a majority of the Mizzou fans excited because now the SEC needed another team. The fans started a grassroots campaign to convince the University to leave the Big 12. This movement did not gain any momentum until the Mizzou Administration found out that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State had asked the Pac 12 if they could join. When that news surfaced the Mizzou Administration started listening to the Fans and the rest is now history.
