Of course MU's main goal was self-determination (a goal they don't want Kansas to exercise of course). I just point out that the MU fans were going bonkers with glee and were very outspoken about Kansas ending up in some shit league. Regardless of PittGorilla and whoever claiming that RockNation and Tigerboard et al don't represent all fans. That's a moronic point since-well-what exactly does? Thousands of posters and tons of radio callers count for a lot.
As to the contract you forgot to mention Nebraska was the biggest opponent of revenue sharing and for good cause. So their departure if anything was because they couldn't hoard more. Mizzou and Colorado didn't matter just like WVU and TCU don't. I'm not sure on ATM.
Sec contract will be good for those schools. Lets suppose you pass Kansas sitting at $30m. What does it matter if you don't win? UCONN fans don't care about tv money or conference affiliation- they don't have to!
