How would playing Mizzou in KC help K-State with recruiting? If anything, it helps Mizzou hold onto their presence in KC, making it more difficult for K-State. You guys are better off playing teams like Duke and Florida. The only reason anyone wanted to see K-State play Mizzou in KC was to piss off KU fans. An enemy of an enemy is a friend. In this case, K-State and Mizzou.
