I can see when you don't really have "a thing" like mizzou then you might as well keep running hoping a change in scenery might help you on the court.
Nebraska I'll never quite get. They were a big dog in football and although were inferior when compared to Oklahoma and Texas at least they had identity. They ruled the Big 8 for decades and were considered "the tradition" when people thought of college football in the midwest.
Now they are many rungs under Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, etc. Shit, they are basically interchangeable with Wisconsin…all the way down to color and logo.
Colorado? Who knows. They are kind of on an island no matter where they choose to play.
A&M will forever be known as "the school Johnny Manziel went to after Texas didn't want him". I don't think that would be any different had they been in the Big 12 or SEC.
