Missouri's performance in this ordeal has been pathetic.
If you look at the last five years, their performance in football has bettered every team in the conference save OU and Texas. They've been even or slightly ahead of OSU.
As far as basketball goes, the resurgence under Anderson has been promising as well. Coupled with the fact that OU's program is in the toilet, I think it's safe to say that Missouri is the 3rd-5th best athletic program in conference if you just look at the two major sports.
Getting a third tier deal is pathetic, especially when your state holds the only two other major population centers outside of Texas in the entire conference.
