We are glad to be leaving because in the long term this will make the football program better. Recruiting will be better, the infusion of money will help the program, and we expect 10 years and farther down the road Missouri will rank higher on the national stage because of it. It gives the school a better chance to build something national championship caliber.
Of course its a long way to the top, this will be the football equivalent of the Manhattan project for Missouri. But its awesome to see the school welcoming that challenge. We are excited because we look down the road at things like playing an exciting conference schedule and playing with those teams each year. Maybe a stadium expansion. Bowl respect. Being title contenders one day. There is really no down side. This is a promising new era.
