And Missouri already has basketball facilities that would be in the top 2 or 3 of the conference as well as indoor practice facilities that rank with virtually any school in the country.
If MU put together a $300 million stadium renovation, they'd have athletic facilities that rivaled the absolute best anywhere in the country.
It's really just a useless argument to have at this point. MU would go into the SEC in a far better position than Arkansas did with absolutely
nothing that would prevent it from being just as successful down there. In the meantime, the atmosphere surrounding the athletic department would unquestionably step up a notch.
But the K-Staters insist we're being arrogant for looking forward to this.
