Quit trolling, dude.

Like I said - whatever helps you sleep at night.

Alternatively, you could point out that Missouri has 5 major professional sports teams as well as a handful of other professional teams in lesser sports (soccer, etc...) and that the entertainment options in Missouri absolutely obliterate those available in Kansas, thus the fact that so many Missouri entertainment dollars are spent on University of Missouri football in a professional sports state is actually very damn impressive.
So basically, Missouri is not a college sports state, point made, got it.
That does clear up why their fans feel like they need to be in a stronger conference,............ I think.
It is quite obvious it is not due to past performance.

But then again, you're pretty much functionally reeruned, so that's probably above your head.

Keep trying, chief. Sooner or later someone will make a salient argument for you and you'll be able to latch onto it. Unfortunately it appears that Saulbadguy and Pants are tired of carrying your water, so you may have to wait awhile.
The old divide an conquer strategy.

Don't get all saucy with those that have cards.

They only put 70,000 people in a stadium with 69,000 seats.

Mellinger makes the case for the Big 12 tournament staying in KCMO even if Mizzou leaves. He also says the Big 12 is unlikely to break its contract with Sprint Center to have the tournament through 2014.

This would be the best outcome for KU, KSU, and ISU fans, even if Sprint Center is in Missouri.

Is there a difference?

Wasn't the MU meeting yesterday? Or is that happening today?

Saul Good 10-21-2011 08:56 AM
He makes a good point about the bowl games. The Big XII has contracts with 7 bowls, and only 3 of them are in Big XII states (surprisingly, all in Texas).

We can schedule bowl games outside the Big XII footprint but not a basketball tournament?

Also, the Big XII is pretty much giving up Kansas City as a market if they move the tourney. There will still be alums of KU and KSU, but the casual, unaffiliated fan won't grow up bonding with the conference from their experiences in the Big XII tourney. They'll have to settle for watching football games against Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, etc. and basketball games against Kentucky, Florida, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

There's a meeting starting right now. Supposedly, yesterday's meeting wasn't going to even touch on re-alignment. The rumor is that they actually voted to leave the conference yesterday and notified the conference of their exit and are voting to apply to the SEC today. Just a rumor, though.

bowl games are between 2 different conferences. It would be impossible to keep them all in conference states, not including the weather factors...

They could only be in the states the two conferences are in. They aren't though.
