If... Mizzou and SLU had played in the same conference and competed regularly for conference titles over several decades
Then it might be apples to apples.
I'm over KU and Mizzou not playing, though. I understand the logical argument you can make against KU scheduling that game. I do think that a MU/KU matchup would be much more profitable than MU/SLU. Guaranteed national broadcast, long rivalry and tradition of hatred, etc.

There's a decent chance SLU moves to the Big East in the next couple of years. Is the Big East still a major conference? Would it be worth it for Mizzou to play a game on FS1? Honestly, SLU-Mizzou in Columbia on the SEC Network would probably get more viewers. There's no reason for Mizzou to give SLU a home and home, they already play Illinois @ Scottrade.
