The main problem I have is KC is still a very strong Big 12 town as far as the media goes. IMO and of course I am biased, I don't feel we get the recognition here in KC that we would if we were still in the Big 12.
The pros are:
Stability
Money
better travel destenations
better football culture and histrory overall
better competetion
The cons:
Less schools within 2-4 hour drive
Less SEC fans in the area to argue with
Less local media coverage
More competition in every aspect of football
Overall I am happy with the move. Staying in a Big 12 without Texas would have also been fine but that wasn't going to happen. I am glad we didn't end up in the Big 10. I would have personally hated that.
Wanted to make sure that real answers were submitted before I put a real one.
Pros:
Money
Stability
Most things about football.
Change of scenery
More exposure as national brand
Cons:
Rivalries-big one for me
longer trips/culture
basketball. could get better, but the quality overall was pretty poor (especially refs)
Wrestling and any chance of moving our hockey team to NCAA level.
I am a westside (KC) fan. The kU rivalry definitely means a lot more to us. I don't like the try-hard attitude that alot of our fans have picked up. The move was shocking to me. My personal feelings are that everyone would be happier had we gotten full membership in the Big10, but we landed pretty well given the situation.

I don't understand the Big 10 thing. I get it for the STL side but not really with KC or the southern part of the state.

I wouldn't. I prefer the SEC to the Big 10. I just like the football atmosphere better.
That being said. The Big 10 would have been fine as well. Both were obviously preferable than suckling and Texas' teet in the Big 12.

I think your feelings are incorrect.
You have been crying about the move to the SEC since you started posting here. The passive aggressive shtick towards Mizzou fans happy about the move. More of the same here no doubt.
Let me state this for you one more time so its clear to you, not many Mizzou fans on the eastern side of the state have one ounce of sympathy for the KC contingent that feels like they were "Wronged" and that the move was bad because KC will not be the center of Mizzou's Big 8/12 universe anymore. Welcome to how St Louis and much of the East felt the last century plus. Never stopped us from being great fans, never heard us crying because of some of the absolute silly shite you continually cry over. The move to the SEC, athletically, was about the best possible outcome for the University of Missouri we could have hoped for, that includes a move to the B1G.
Either cry about for the rest of your days, pining for your trips to no where Iowa and kansas because you are not the center of the Mizzou universe anymore, or get the frick on board with one of the great decisions in Mizzou history. There are no more fricks to give, the train has left the station. Time to stop crying.
**Just for clarity, most all the KC peeps I know are full on in support and positive, there are few that just wont let it go though, that is who Im addressing in this post.
