This changes nothing. They still have far more money and resources, the pick of the top recruits.
I'm not employed by MU - I don't have kids at MU. I care about winning on Saturday, or at least having a reasonable chance to win. This plan gets us pummeled by super schools that we've never been able to compete with twice a year, takes away a non-conference game, and pretty much guarantees us that we'll never even sniff a BCS berth. |
What good is a BCS bid if your team sucks as bad as you think it must. I'd much prefer Mizzou playing OK and TX every year and being legit the year they win their conference than playing against a bunch of relative cupcakes and getting pummeled by a real team after getting a cheap BCS bid.
If you don't want Mizzou playing in Beebe's new version of the Big 12 because of OK and TX, then I don't see how you could have had an interest in playing in the Big 10.
