Just answering the question.

Why are you so bitter all the time? Can't you just post like a normal person?

Oklahoma is nowhere near as good as the top SEC teams as we can now see. Plus they were without an NFL wide out and they still beat MU rather easily.

Of course they will be favored over Kansas...no one brought that team into the discussion.

We could just have a thread where no one states their opinions and all the MU fans chant for moving to the SEC. But I don't think anyone is interested in that.

LOL Neg Repping him =

Is there any Big 12 that KU can stay within 10 points of?

LMAO

Calling you out for being a moron doesn't make me or anyone else bitter. It's like saying ice is cold, or water is wet, or fire is hot.

Also, "beat rather easily" isn't a 10 point win at home. "Beating easily" would be more akin to the game Georgia Tech had against KU. Hopefully this will clear up the concept of getting beat easily for you.

Any other simple concepts I can explain to you? I'm here to help.

I sure hope Missouri stays and the Louisville rumor is true. Louisville is a name brand, even if it is in basketball, I believe it is one of the top three most valuable basketball programs in the nation. The football is competitive even if it will be in the lower part of the Big XII. Good geographic fit, expands the footprint and a passionate fan base in a large city.

I do believe the Big XII will stop there for a few years and then consider expansion before they renegotiate their 1st Tier deal in 2016. I think they should stay in the south if they do and look seriously at Southern Florida and Central Florida. Open up a new market on a football rich state. Those two schools already hate each other, so we would be bringing in another good rivalry.

How long before you Tiggers decide what is best for you?

Word is we could have a Board of Curators meeting on Friday to make a decision after hearing what is said on Thursday's Big 12 meeting.

@sptwri
Mike DeArmond Expect a curators meeting this week at Mizzou. Nothing official yet. But there is talk out there.

Just answering the question.

If they wanted to "play in the best conference, have the highest chance of getting drafted into the NFL", they would have. They aren't. LSU and Arkansas get a small handful just due to proximity. Their games are already televised and they already get to play in front of friends and family (they'd actually do that more often with 3 Texas schools in conference rather than just one).

The "SEC is the NFL bullet train!!!" argument has not worked. Big 12 out-recruits everyone because Texas kids want to either play for Texas/OU, or against them. Texas A&M won't change things. Good Texas players are not going to be saying "damn those Aggies for not giving me a scholarship, I'ma goin' to go to Columbia!"

I'm gonna need to hear someone other than Greg Swaim reporting it. Not that I wouldn't be OK with UL, Cinci, and BYU, and maybe he's good at recruiting news, but this guy has just gotten too many things wrong on conference realignment, to the point where he's at non-credible rumor status.

I agree heartily with this. Texas A&M is going to have to fight pretty hard to maintain its current Texas recruiting.

Missouri would have an even harder time continuing it's recruiting success at the same level in Texas if it moved to the SEC. Which is one reason I strenuously oppose the move. Right now, Missouri beats oSu, Tech, Baylor, Iowa State, kansas, Arkansas pretty consistently for Texas kids. If Missouri left and the Big 12 stayed together, oSu, Tech and Baylor win many more of those battles.

The SEC is a lot of things in football, but it isn't recruiting magic.

Recruiting Texas kids to the SEC while the Big 12 exists has not been easy for Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, etc. It would not be easy for Mizzou.

Yep, he grabs a shovel and just keeps on digging.

Yep. As we've discussed before so much of this "twitter" reporting is really hurting some of these guys.

Just look at Eric Blumberg.

Texas Tech is probably their best bet at this point.

I agree that Mizzou switching to the SEC will harm their Texas recruiting.

I vehemently disagree that TAMU moving to the SEC will hurt their recruiting and that it wont improve the rest of the SEC's recruiting in Texas.
