I don't think the B1G wanted you as much as you wanted them honestly. Not saying Mizzou isn't wanted, but Nebraska was the big fish the B1G wanted. The are expanding into the east coast and metro areas now further too.


I think the Big 10 made a mistake, and they are coming to realize it. Your president's comments said as much when he stated that he regretted the Big 10 not taking Missouri. Nebraska is a mediocre athletic school which is only sought after for it's history in football. They are the only Big 10 school without AAU status, and don't have a large population in their state. Missouri would have offered a more competitive athletic program, AAU membership, and two large metros within a state of over six million people.

Nice hidden corn troll.

Big 8 and Big 12 history would suggest otherwise.
