To all of you MUron's, the SEC only took you at the time for 3 reasons, just coming off of several good football years, a few good BB seasons and most of all, you had a greater TV market in Missouri. The KC, STL, SPFLD, and Columbia/Jeff City far out numbered the. KC, TOPEKA & WICHITA
& Ks market. It was a numbers game with TV marketing.
How has your football & BB programs done W/L records since leaving the B12? Football I can understand, hard to win in the SEC. BB? Come on, the SEC has been a down conference for several years and you sucked in BB
It wasn't until the last 2 yrs you started to come around, I must say too, in a conference that has been less than stellar!
It's not your football or basketball programs ability to win that is attractive to the SEC, it's the TV market for viewership that is attractive to the SEC! If MU was in a less populated state like KS, Ne, SD,ND. etc. You would be left out, wouldn't have gotten an invite to the SEC.

Yep. And if it happened today vs a decade ago, they wouldn’t get invited.
The only advantage they have vs KU is being located in a larger market. Which is a very strange thing to flex about. Hey, we never win, but there’s a lot of people in St Louis!
It’s Texas-esque douchebaggery.
