Why is shopping your school to a better conference supposedly embarrassing? If you live in the ghetto and are seen house-shopping in the suburbs, is that embarrassing? No. Heck, Missouri even ended up in a better neighborhood than the one they started looking at. It probably had more to do with the B10's courting of Notre Dame than anything else, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
