The funny thing is the Big 10 thinking they are enhancing their conference by adding shit like Missouri, Rutgers, Syracuse, etc.

The only sport that matters in expansion is football since it is all about adding value to football TV contracts. Missouri football has ZERO national presence or following. Same with Rutgers football, same with Syracuse football.

Nebraska is the only national football brand among the rumored expansion candidates.

It's almost as funny as your eternal hatred of Missouri. I'm sorry nobody here gives a **** about Thug-U. Maybe you'd be happier at a prison BB.

Right...because the Big10 network only shows football.

**** Miami

LMAO

That is a pretty ridiculous statement. I would say Missouri has some national presence they were one of the 12 or so teams that got the new nike jerseys. I don't know how big of a deal that is but it seems like something nationally at least. Also you are comparing the national presence of every team in the league. What teams which would possible leave their conference for the big 10 would have a better presence than these teams?

You are new here, just to tell you he is one of the biggest dumbasses on this board.

new to posting i've been lurking around for a while....I could tell

Missouri has now won eight games in the regular season for four consecutive seasons. There are fewer than 15 teams in college football who can say that. And now that they've done it with two different quarterbacks, with different players every single position (not one player who started the Texas Bowl was a starter for the 2006 Sun Bowl), Missouri has proven it can sustain success. Recruits are taking notice.

Especially when it comes to basketball

Do you see ESPN making documentaries about Missouri football? No

Missouri won't play Miami after the 'Canes ass raped them back in '89 in Columbia.

You should know your role on the collective college football food chain (Missouri football qualifying as even a blip on the college football food chain would be an achievement) before talking smack.

Advertisers and cable providers aren't lining up for a piece of the Big 10 Network for womens gymnastics.

Speaking of ESPN...the best TV ratings college gameday ever got?

Missouri game. Weird for a team not even a blip.

Are you suggesting the Big Ten only add teams like Miami to their conference....there aren't very many college football programs with their history, but what does that have to do with this?

Nebraska and Notre Dame are the only two teams that would add any significant value to the Big 10's football TV contracts.
