They're AAU so I don't know why the B10 didn't try and take them back in 2010/2011.


They did. Missouri declined the “junior membership” offer because the whole point of leaving the Big 12 was to receive equitable treatment from the new conference. Nebraska decided the Jr. membership was worth it and accepted.

And then Nebraska got kicked out of the AAU for some reason after being invited.

FWIW, I know the ad nauseam Big 10/Mizzou comments will never stop, but we really don't fit in there any better than we do in the SEC. SEC folks say we're too northern and Big 10 folks would say we're too Southern (laugh all you want but I hear it all the time in Big 10 land). We don't really fit either conference completely.

Believe me, Missouri has nothing in common with Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, or New Jersey. We'd be no better fit in the B1G than we are here, and quite frankly, I think most of us would rather associate with the SEC rather than the snobs in the B1G.
