No, we turned down a Jr membership from the big 10 and the Huskers took it. They didn't get full membership money for several years. Mizzou got full membership in the SEC on Day ONE. However even IF it were true we got rejected by the big 10...it was a blessing in disguise once we learned the SEC was a possibility.

I feel bad for Nebraska honestly. They were fighting the good fight against the Texas block along with Colorado, aTm and Mizzou.

It's pretty telling that all the institutions in the Big 12 with the clout and cache as programs to make a move did, in fact, do so when that decision presented itself.

That was an indictment on the Texas AD at that moment in time.

I feel bad for our former Big 8 brothers and sisters like Iowa State and kansas State. I actually feel bad for West Virgina, they were forced into that mess but deserve better. Little sympathy for Okie State because Oklahoma and Oklahoma State could have saved out old Big 8 if they didn't vote with the old Texas SWC block on some things. You reap what you sow as they say...

I know some of you hate us/ hate we are here/ but I have never felt you don't have our back when its all said and done and that's a pretty cool feeling and one we, Mizzou fans, haven't had since the Big 8/SWCmerger in the early 90's
