Doubt it and hope not. I honestly think the supposed Mizzou B1G "obsession" is really overplayed on the Rant. I know for a fact that there were multiple million dollar donations to the athletic department that were stipulated on the fact that we were going to the SEC. Hopefully these bros have enough pull in the AD to never let us go to the Big Rusty.

All I have to say is this:

You're not gonna ever be fully accepted as a member until y'all up and move y'all's campus south of I-44.

Case in point: USC has generally been accepted with open arms, but we're still having to get used to UPig. And they're as Southern as the rest of us.

We receive these for acting with moral decency in the SEC...The donations you receive from switching to the SEC should be buying people buildings....not flaming just pointing out how shite is done in the SEC.

The donations weren't pro-sec, they were anti-Big 12. The Mizzou B1G obsession is not overplayed, in fact it is probably understated. Everyone knows you guys were begging for a B1G invite recently but it also happened when the Big 8 became the Big 12:

Back on March 8, 1994, the Tribune's Scott Cain wrote ... The University of Missouri-Columbia, which abstained in a Big Eight Conference vote for a merger with four Southwest Conference schools, is drawing criticism about its level of commitment to the expanded league. Nebraska athletic director Bill Byrne said he wished Missouri administrators would make a firm commitment. "From my perspective, I wish they would either make a commitment to us or go somewhere else,'' he said. "But this dilly-dallying has got to stop.'' MU upset other Big Eight schools last year by publicly flirting with the Big Ten. MU chancellor Charles Kiesler walked a fine public relations line at the time, saying in September that it would not be dignified to publicly pressure the Big Ten to admit MU, but that the issue was open for discussion.
