Official Missouri Regrets leaving Big 12 but Tries Really Hard to Justify Thread
Limestone:
Couple of pretty big MU donors in my office have already admitted (in private) that they regret the move. I think they are looking at asking to get back in when the 4 team super confys are established.

They call BITB "KeKe", and he has really got into their heads.

--- Quote ---Agree and it it really shouldn't even be up for discussion..
The fact that UT calls all the shots, and we've never been able to trust UT, justifies the move in and of itself. Not matter what the Big 12 ever does, those facts will never change.
Losing NU, CU, and A&M were also huge factors. NU was becoming a really good rivalry in football. There is nobody in close proximity that could ever replace that. IMO, Arkansas/MU will become a great rivalry in a very short time.
We had an opportunity to go to the greatest conference in college sports as an equal member from day 1. The prestige, exposure, and $$$, would never have been matched in the Big 12, or any other conference. Even if the B12 added ND, FSU, Clemson, VaTech, GaTech, it still isn't even close to what the SEC has to offer.
For once the stars aligned just right for MU, and somehow we ended up in the SfrigginEC! We didn't just win the war, won the damn lottery!

Yet you offered to give the Big 10 a blowie to join? Made SEC 2nd choice? :nono:
WildcatNkilt:
--- Quote ---exactly. Big 12 will be the 4th best conference no matter
what they do. Even if they get Notre Dame they're maybe 3rd best.
--- End quote ---
ND, FSU, and Clemson would still only make us 3rd best? :embarrassed: We're so small-timey.

grant of rights is now bad :dunno:
