Tough to really worry about a program that doesn't bring much as far as athletic accomplishment goes.

All the schools moving (Nebraska, Syracuse, Pitt, TCU).... less to do with tv sets than everyone originally thought. Which is MU's only strong point.

It's about strong programs and MU simply doesn't have much as far as that goes.
Mizzou has been perennial top 25 contenders in football, basketball, and baseball for a number of years now. To argue that TCU is better is asinine.

How many BCS bowls?

How many do you think TCU is going to get now that they're playing with the big boys?

This is wrong on so many levels. Time and time again it has been proven to mainly be about TV sets. Syracuse and Pittsburgh give the ACC the entire East Coast from Miami clear up to New York City.

Even TCU's move is about TV sets..as in Texas was willing to let them in because having TCU in the Big XII with the LHN is better than having to go to the Pac12 with no LHN.

Nebraska's move was about their brand....a NATIONAL brand that brings TV sets to the Big 10 network across the country.


Saying MU is not a strong program is just stupid. 40 wins in 4 years in football, 2 elite eights since 2000, and success in the lesser non-revenue sports as well.

Of course, one would not expect you to see any of that, with your face firmly planted in Texas' crotch.

A couple of more than Nebraska has had in the last 9-10 years.

Can't be any less than Mizzou.

The only thing TCU to the Big 12 will accomplish is reducing the number of Texas recruits that will consider KU, KSU, and ISU. Congrats.

Yeah, I live in the Tampa area so there are obviously a lot of USF students and alum. Some of the people I work with are huge USF homers and every year they claim they're the best in the state and then they go blow it and then spiral downward to an unranked finish. In everyone else's eyes they're on the same level as UCF (who is definitely on the upswing), but the little USF homers think they're UF, FSU, or Miami.

No exit fees, then? Sweet. Hell, we can then sue the conference for breach of contract.

I know USF has beaten Florida State recently, did they beat Miami too?

It can't be any worse than working with a bunch of Beakers constantly saying "Who's that, what's UCF?"

I'd be curious to see a couple of the articles if you have any links. I've done a little looking back, but I can't seem to find any of the articles saying anything. The only ones I run across are the acceptance of A&M into the SEC & the legal crap.

Reerun_KC 10-11-2011 07:29 AM
So Today is the Day that MU Announces they are the next member of the SEC?

They're out there, but I'm not going to dig for them. The articles all said the same thing, we're not interested in expanding at this time. It sparked this classic cartoon.

In the end, aTm is out.
