You can take it as talking shit on MU, but it is what it is.

I'm taking it as spin, not shit talking. Just mildly amused by it. Here's some Mizzou spin to counter.
The Big 12 also has to deal with:
Losing four million people in its footprint (net), the No. 21 TV market, a big chunk of the No. 31 TV market. That could be hurtful when the next TV deal comes around.
Losing a strong academic partner.
The geographical displacement of WVU.
The fanbase. People want to talk about Missouri's fanbase being low class, etc? Wait till you meet the folks from Morgantown.
