Mu's primary motive behind playing a semi-high profile game in KC is to keep a foothold in KC and maintain brand relevance amongst the three major schools in the market.
If K-State agrees to a game, we give them both.
F*ck them.
Call it butthurt or whatever, MU started this mess two years with their whoring to the Big 10. They nearly killed the conference a second time this past year when they abandoned the Big XII for the SEC.
So, now MU is feeling a little guilty for sh*tting on their fans from KC after making it abundantly clear St. Louis is their clear cut priority from an alumni perspective. And all the fans of theirs in KC are feeling a little alienated.
They want their cake and eat it too.
Again, eff them.
We can play our games in KC, hell play an annual KC classic with KU, bring in some high profile teams from from ACC or Big East, sell out Sprint, promote the sh*t out of the Big XII, appease our own fans, build our brand up, stay relevant, and do it by not playing a team we directly compete in the marketplace again.
We need to start looking out for our own best interests. Kind of surprised so many are actually taking the other side here. We can achieve the same thing and it doesn't have to involve placating Missouri.
