Missouri Football

All time record 612–512–52 (.543)

Postseason bowl record 12–15–0 (most recently losing to service academy Navy 35-13)

Allow us to step aside as your huge football tradition moves through.

ROFL

As it wont matter to MU fans in basketball either huh?


Yeah other than bragging rights on a message board, how does it benefit the teams in the conference race?

I really hope Nebraska moves to the Big Ten i'd say it would be harder for Bo to go back to Ohio State that way.

The New York City market cares about college basketball much more then they do college football. It's the #1 revenue generating market in the world.

So yes, you are correct with this statement.

Conference? Not at all.

But I could truly care less about the Big XII. Honestly and earnestly. Academics are #1, and this will benefit if Mizzou is able to make the jump.

You sure like to generalize alot dont you...

Are you speaking for everyone?

Quantify this with statistical evidence to show that college basketball generates more money than college football.

Are we really going to go back to claiming that 15 > 17?

:facepalm:

I have a customer asking about a flash project, can you take care of that for me...

:facepalm:

What's so sad about it?

This will bring millions into the city of Columbia.

You think I give a large rat's ass about tradition when I can dump it so that the University Hospital will get millions more in research dollars on account of being in the Big 10? When the Campus will be able to upgrade its facilities across the board? When the community is able to expand and bring in businesses to develop the northern part of town around the new High School that we just broke ground on?

**** that. This would improve the Columbia community immensly. And isn't that what intercollegiate athletics is supposed to be about anyway? Sports make money for the University and provide an identity to foster longstanding loyalty. A move to the Big 10, and the money that would entail, furthers that mission at every step.

This is all sour grapes. "Tradition" is the last straw these folks have and it's nonsense. You don't put the well-being of an institution which employs thousands and is the life-blood of a fairly significant city behind "tradition".

Good post.

That's gone through my mind as well. But I'm not terribly worried, obviously there is something about Lincoln that makes him want to be there, seeing that he came back after he was run out the door in '03. I think as long as the university keeps putting lots of zeroes on the end of his paycheck he will be good.

The New York market cares about pro sports first and foremost.

good Post.
