I think the more telling statistic about where Mizzou football is going to be in the SEC long term is the fact that in the history of the program between the Big 8 and Big 12 you haven't won a conference championship since 1969 and not outright since 1960. That doesn't happen by accident. I've already mentioned the money thing before in here, so I'm going to skip over that. Then there is the fact that you guys are fairly dependent on Texas for players and are moving from having guaranteed games in Texas to a game in Texas like once a decade. Going to be a lot harder to sell those kids and their families on playing for you in that scenario regardless of what conference you play it.
