re: Why is Mizzou playing AT Arky St?

Here's a good story about the OOC scheduling troubles from switching conferences:

Columbia Tribune Article

My understanding is that Mizzou had 1 fewer OOC game in the B12. So we were hard pressed to fill the schedule after we converted. Also the SEC began considering a 9 game conference schedule so we had to further delay finding OOC games. Texas A&M had similar problems.

In the end, Ark St had the negotiating power and we agreed to a home-and-home. We have similar situations until 2022.
