BC is probably the best city school available and yet they've pretty much been career also-rans. They've had a few nice years in the last 5 or so, but just watch - they're in their 'up' cycle and they'll be back down in short order.

BC is the 'exception' that proves the rule. They're the best that the city schools have to offer and yet they're still a pretty mediocre program.
Pitt is better than BC I would think.

They are def a city school with success.

WVU has better recruiting and TV viewership than TCU. So, again, how is TCU > WVU?

They are a city school, but I'm not sure that they help your argument.

Louisville has a larger athletic budget than Mizzou does.

You should stick to starting Royals threads.
Texas A&M is not even close to driving the bus in Texas. MU and TA&M are replaceable, in terms of not impacting the contract. People around the country are curious about OU and UT games. Hardly anyone outside the Midwest cares about Mizzou, and Kansas City is a KU town.

TCU isn't a better option than WVU?

Travel expenses?
Recruiting area?
TV?

Locking up the Dallas/Ft Worth area compared to West Virginia?

What am I missing?????

Who exactly...apples to apples will the B12 easily replace if Missouri where to leave.

Point is that Louisville is very qualified to be in this conference and if were up to me they'd be one of the top schools targeted in order for the conference to get back to 10.

They have more accomplishments on the field than many of the schools in this conference. Not sure why being located in a city should be a deterrent.

My argument is that Texas and OU account for well over 80% of the reason why the Big 12 can command huge contracts. Perhaps even over 90%.

To the extent that losing Mizzou or TA&M hurts at all, they are mostly replaceable (especially with BYU, which has a national following) for an almost-irrelevant slice.

You're missing that WVU gets better recruiting classes and has close to 3 times as much viewership as TCU.

Exactly why MU should go to the SEC.

1. Boston College doesn't have a history of sustained achievement in football.

2. They are a private Jesuit school.

3. The best examples of successful city schools are all in the Big East. They are only successful at all because they play each other.

If true, that clears the legal obstacles to joining the SEC.

where they will be about as relevant as Arkansas.
