If you're going to troll, at least try to make a little sense and it would help if you knew a little bit about what actually went down with the BIG.

My memory may be faulty but irc, once the ESPN/Longhorn Network Deal was announced everybody in the Big 12 got their panties in a wad and started kicking up a fuss about leaving. Mizzou called the B1G and Jim Delany put them on hold while he waited for a better option to arise. The better option turned out to be Nebraska and Mizzou had to remain in Bevo's shadow for another year until aTm decided to bolt for the SEC and Mizzou tagged along because they had no where else to go

I may have left out some details but that's how I recall things went down. It's not a knock on Mizzou and yall seem like really nice people who were not as prepared for the SEC as was initially believed.

Negative.

Mizzou was negotiating with the Big Ten on the buy-in process to the Big Ten Network/Junior Membership.

Nebraska, having no other option and being equally fricked but the LHN, said they'd take the junior membership and fricked us over.

Mizzou always had a second option, especially after the aTM thing. (we caused the situation, remember?).

funny how Slive mentioned so many times we were an equal member from day one. Didn't mention it much with aTm, did he?

You can also say the same for Utah, Nebraska, Colorado, and WVU. All of them had it rough the first years in a new conference. aTm is the only team that tore it up.

Dude... I hope that relieved you so you can stop being such a little hard on.

Not many schools can fit into multiple conferences. Mizzou fits in 3 of the 5 major conferences, if you include the ACC. That ain't too bad man. Can't blame Big10 for taking Nebraska, they're a national football brand. Most of the MU fanbase (besides Mizzoux, who is from Chicago) is more than happy that we avoided the rust belt.
