I was unaware Missouri was a good school academically, did the OP really use Vanderbilt and Mizzou in the same sentence ?

Mizzoukills, if you want to compare A&M struggles to Mizzou's, A&M had a poor decade with some flashes of good times between 2000-2011 but nothing really consistent. Many felt A&M was overshadowed by Texas, and when A&M is good in their history, Texas is typically not. So we move to the SEC in order to increase our brand and exposure, and that obviously worked.
Not only that, but we picked up some random kid from Kerrville who wins the Heisman trophy. That's the kind of talent that Texas has.
Missouri gets the #1 ranked WR in the country and can't do anything with him, and maybe he'll improve, but I doubt he's going to win a Heisman.
So my point is, A&M's struggles can be attributed to a lot of things over the past ten years, SEC was obviously the remedy, and Mizzou's can be attributed to a simple fact, it's located in fricking Missouri. Where did most of your players come from when you were in the Big 12 with us?

Sometimes a kid will get turned down from UGA for grades and then go to the military prep school. If he gets his grades up, he can enroll at UGA the next year and start competing. It's not uncommon.
I know next to nothing about your program. But I can assure you that if your coaching staff wants a player, the only entity that potentially poses an academic hurdle is the NCAA.
And that goes for every major football program.

However, Mizzou isn't willing to settle for an 8 - 9 win season as a measure of success when only a few years ago we were an 11 - 12 win team. 10 wins indicated a step back a few years ago. We didn't make the move to the SEC to be losers. We actually have lofty goals other than the money to be made in the SEC.
25 years of Missouri football:
1988, 3-7-1

2012, 5-7
Yes, that is 10 winning seasons in 25 years.

I especially like this part. As you can see, these academic giants have won more than 10 games per season exactly 1 time in the last 25 years.
We will not relinquish our "SEC's Most Delusional Fanbase" crown without a fight, but keep trying.

Does that sound like Richt? The admin team turns them away over academic concerns, not Richt. Trust me, after Jan Kemp UGA decided to raise their standards to save face.

Well, I think this is going to happen my friend. But you are good in basketball and most of us suck, so you do have that.

Mizzou has ONE 11+ win season in 40 years, and suddenly a 10-win season is a step back?
2012 5-7
2011 8-5
2010 10-3
2009 8-5
2008 10-4
2007 12-2
2006 8-5
2005 7-5
...
1960 11-0
That's four double digit win seasons in Mizzou's entire history, only two of them have been 11+ wins, 1960 and 2007. And the one in 1960 was really 10-1 with a forfeit. That looks more like luck than any trend.
To say, "10 wins indicated a step back a few years ago" is drawing an invalid conclusion due to insufficient data. You must not have attended such a fine university as the University of Missouri, otherwise you would not have posted such a stupid post.
