I'd say it worked out okay this past season.
More money means better facilities and better exposure. They're not only competing with the other SEC schools, they're also competing with other power conference teams and leagues that recruit in the areas they do. Being in the SEC helps Mizzou in a way that the Big 12 did not.
Besides over the last seven years or so, Mizzou has proven to be competitive while being at a financial disadvantage (ie not having a large revenue stream) against many of the schools in both the Big 12 and the SEC. I just think it will be interesting to see what they can accomplish with said revenue stream, irrespective of the other SEC schools.
If ever there was a chance to shine and take the FB program to the next level, this is it.
