re: Why isn't Mizzou competitive in any sport?

With all of the Walmart $ connected to MIZ the fact $ is an issue has always kind of been mystifying.

Mizzou has never had a money issue. The culture in MO is more about you don't spend it unless you have to. Our AD has historically operated in the black. They are conservative with the money and that is a good thing.

Our programs aren't really lacking for anything despite not spending nearly as much. For example:
1) Nicest on campus basketball arena in the country
2) Football amenities are as good as anyone
3) One of the top 5 or 10 softball stadiums in the country

These are just a few examples. We should applaud our AD for not just throwing money around recklessly. All of our coaches get paid market rates.
