If Missouri was still in the Big12 they would probably be relegated to G5 status if the Big12 folds. Instead they are laughing it up with Vandy at the big boy table...

I laugh at Mizzou every chance I get but Arkansas would possibly be in the same boat if we’d followed some of our fans wishes in recent years to jump to the Big 12 for easier competition. I’m glad cooler heads prevailed in our admin.

Not true. Kansas City and St Louis TV markets. Remember we turned down the Big10.

7 million people mean absolutely nothing in 2021? Weird.

We saw an unsustainable situation and left it as soon as we could. I'm amazed that the little 8s kneepads held out this long.

Hopefully they'll end up on the Big Ten where they belong

Correct. Cable subscribers don’t matter any longer when it comes to expansion. Keep up.

I'd say they're a huge winner just by being in a conference with teams that have crazy fertile recruiting grounds. There's enough to go around for the whole conference.

Nebraska lost this when they joined the Big 10.

Maybe 1/10th if these people even pretend to give a shite about Mizzou athletics

Mizzou is at best the 5th most popular sports team in Kansas City and St. Louis

Nebraska was willing to take a lower share for several years. Mizzou wasn't and said no to the jr membership. Luckily, a better option was presented and thank god our brass weren't complete idiots and said yes to the SEC.

Mizzou also benefits from the realignment. Previously they were traveling thousands of miles to games, this will cut travel time and costs in half.

They’ve been to 2 more SECCGs than the Aggies.

This reopens/opens further a lot of the old Big8 recruiting grounds to Mizzou. We were already making inroads there, this should accelerate that process.

(I hate Texas, but what's done is done, it seems)
