Why does Oklahoma follow Mizzou everywhere?


Because OK can’t build anything on their own

Always standing on the shoulders of others and relying on teams in neighboring states to elevate their program

Mizzou isn’t a stereotypical sec school, but I’ll give credit where do. They’ve been competitive in sec play and is overall a positive addition. Might not be the flashiest add or the best add but no denying they’ve been a net positive for the sec.

9 in a row is just a shocking number for an "SEC" team

Kansas won 18 in a row
Rutgers won 18 in a row
Minnesota 24 in a row
Maryland 20 in a row
Stanford 17 in a row

Basically Missouri has never had a "great" season, how are they in the SEC??

This is a respectable response, even if it only happened once

Ill be honest I dont know the history of Missouri football, or lack there of

It just seems strange any conference wanted you with 0 National Championships all time and 0 conference championships since 1969

edit: Gary Pinkel was really good (Hall of Famer)

The question was “How did Missouri get into the SEC?”

The article answers the question.

It hasn’t been about markets in 10 years. It’s about brands , which makes it more mysterious

If you are talking about broadcast TV markets, I would agree. However, at the time Missouri and A&M were admitted it was most certainly about cable TV marketts, and sports packages within cable television subscriptions. If the SEC network got included in a sports package (which it did) in a baseball crazy market like St. Louis or Kansas City. The SEC network was paid a certain amount per subscription whether that subscriber watched the SEC network or not. Read a couple articles. It was a huge win for Slive. The Texas market, especially but also St. Louis and Kansas City helped him negotiate that blockbuster deal.

You do realize 2011 was 15 years ago, right?
I don't think there would be an SECN without A&M and Mizzou.

Real answer? Blame Florida. President Bernie Machen was also Chairman of the SEC Presidents and Chancellors at that time. He grew up in Missouri. He spent a lot of political capital getting Missouri in. North Carolina schools seemed to be off limits. West Virginia and Virginia Tech were the ones that the talkers on TV thought would be good. They would actually make sense in the SEC East. Academically Missouri and Virginia were the only options with AAU membership. Virginia had that ACC exit fee obstacle. At the end Machen helped convince people to go with Missouri and double the number of AAU schools in the SEC from two (Vanderbilt and Florida) to four with Missouri and Texas A&M.

Sorry I guess you don't think beyond first level thinking... My reading comprehension is fine. MORE MONEY buys you better coaches and in the age of NIL, better players, which should translate to Championships... Sitting around collecting money to stick in your shoebox isn't how you become a Blueblood... Do better Mizzery. (Try harder)
