How is Missouri going to get its ass kicked in the Big Ten in football?

Who has been consistently better over the past 10 years, Texas and Oklahoma or oSu and Michigan? That's an easy call. I'll take the trio at the top over the duo that runs the Big 12 any day.

Missouri would have played for a national title in 2007 if it was in the Big Ten.

Missouri will slide right into the second tier of programs in the Big Ten, right along with Iowa and Wisconsin (and likely Nebraska for at least a few more years).

The Tigers will have more success in St. Louis. And I like their chances recruiting against MWC programs in KC...

Missouri football is going to be on TV more (especially in state). It is going to earn much more money from the conference. And it will have better footprint in other areas (Ohio, Michigan, even Florida, which has a strong Big Ten presence).

That adds up to a potential improvement.
