Missouri pro sports have been insanley successful the last decade and have incredible fan base following.

Is it impossible to be great in both pro sports and university sports?

Chiefs, Cardinals, Blues and hell even the Battlehawks were known to have the best fans. Where has the athletic department failed to create interest?

You can say success however mizzou has been a game away from 2 NC title appearances in the last 12 years. Schools like Arkansas, A&M, Miss St, Ole Miss and others haven't had that yet are known to have a better fanbase than Mizzou.


Without an insane amount of success, is it impossible to be great in both pro sports and the NCAA level at the same time? The markets in Missouri are better than a good number of the SEC states.

It also begs another question. Could it be something that the MSHAA is doing to hold back kids in high school from developing into premier athletes to form in state talent that translates into much easier recruiting?

The University of Missouri shot themselves in the foot in the 80' and 90's with their lack of interest in the athletic department but if they can figure out how to turn it around, Missouri isn't in as bad of a spot as most seem to think.

It definitely seems like the region from Kansas through Missouri to Illinois produces enough talent to build a contender. Drinkwitz is a great hire imo as an up and coming coach with familiarity with the region. Will definitely be pulling for yall

The administration needs to have a commitment to winning. Put up advertisements non stop on radio, tv, and across the state. Mizzou used to do this and they can do it again. They're in the best football conference and they need to take advantage of that.....but will they ? time will tell.

It’s not too late.

Every school has shot themselves in the foot. Just look at the 2015 Miles debacle. Not saying it’s less or more on the same scale. But that was a disaster caused by the 2012 extension.


You have been handed the keys to a Ferrari. The sec lotto ticket literally landed in your lap due to TVs and geography.

You can cash in and forget about the past as long as admin sees that college football is the front door step to your university.
