And furthermore, what exactly is the endgame for this argument anyways? Does it matter to either school if one or the other is bringing in an extra million or two? All of these schools are making boatloads of cash! I suppose if it makes you feel like a winner on a message board you can argue whether the exact numbers have significant meaning and pat yourself on the back. In the end though, Missouri did what was best for them both financially and more importantly (as has been pointed out to you two morons) for long term stability.
Fans (especially internet smack champions) are by and large oblivious to the fact that this was a business decision. Anyone who thinks that screwing over Kansas or the Big XII had any role in going to the SEC is a goddamn idiot.

The idea that MU leaving an athletic conference would negatively impact Kansas is laughable.
MU fans wanted this yes, but KU and their fans knew it would never be an issue for us.
Now the fact that KU is making this much MORE $$ than before? Well now, you can argue that is a bit of a surprise yes.
-edit... now if Oklahoma and Texas were to leave then we could talk about problems for KU. But anyone with half a brain knew this was never going to happen. Big Dogs in college athletics don't go to conferences, you come to them.
