re: Missouri should be in the Big-Ten

Nebraska was a far more attractive option for the B1G than Mizzou with their rabid football fan base and national championships. Too bad the 90s aren’t coming back.

If you ware only talking about success on the football field sure.

However the Big 10 was also acting much like the SEC when looking at expansion teams and wanted schools with larger state populations and big metro areas. Missouri crushes Nebraska in that regard. Missouri was also never in danger of losing it's AAU status which is also extremely important to Big 10 schools.

shite, it's why the SEC quickly jumped on Mizzou over taking a more natural fit like West Virginia.

I salute Mizzou for having the balls to tell them to piss off when the Big10 was pushing for a multi year junior membership instead of full in year one.
