This is great but I would love to see MIz come back to the B12.
Remember when Missouri left for greener grass?
- Thread starter Newell
- Start date
I got an email from MU the other day and instantly deleted it. I could never bring myself to even think about going there.
I don't wish ill of another university. Oh wait, Mizzou? **** those ******** now and forever.
I feel like I'd need to take a long shower after having Petrino and Pitino in the conference. Or maybe just spray everybody down with the hose out back.
They should rejoin the Big East which is all about basketball (again). They can remain in the AAC as football-only like Navy.
It wouldn't surprise me if UCONN dropped football and joined the BigEast for all their sports. If I remember correctly, there was serious discussion on this back when it looked like the Big12 might take all the top teams out of the American conference.
Geno was willing to give up his salary for the year just to help with the budget issue's they are having within the state education, I imagine looking long and hard at a miserable football program could be very enticing. I don't know if it'll happen, but I remember hearing something similar.

I'll never be able to prove it, but I believe all the realignment trauma ended up being the kick in the rear we needed to take the next step as an athletic department. We had great leadership through the process (Pollard) and I think it ultimately revealed that our brand (particularly football) was under valued. We're not out of the woods and things will get very interesting again in a few years. However, in the midst of all the chaos, I never could have believed things could have turned out this great.
Come on people, get with the program. It's Screw Mizzou. Always was and always will be.
No. Misery and ATM should be blacklisted by all Big IIXII schools for eternity.
The blow that this move would strike to the narrative of super conferences and B12 instability would be epic. An SEC team leaving for the B12 just blows all of that away. As much as I resent Mizzou for their role in all this, the benefits to ISU and the league that would come from Mizzou's return would be worth setting animosity aside.
Exactly. I enjoy watching those slack-jawed yokels struggle, but we've gotta think big picture folks. Snagging Mizzou & Arkansas would sure beat the hell out of a BYU-Cincy combo.
If slashing travel expenses puts them back in the black, the lack of an exit fee makes a lateral move not that far-fetched.
Maybe this will jog your memory. Here is a pic of her when she was trying to get invited to the Big 10.
Sure you can. The B1G Televen played even fewer conference games and were ok with some teams missing each other from year to year (not protected rivalries, of course). The top two finishers would meet in the championship even if they dodged each other on the schedule.
No, you really can't. You could play 8 or you could play 10, but not 9. An odd number of teams can't play an odd number of games.
The only way the Big12 should ever entertain adding Mizzou would be if we got rid of Baylor. And, unfortunately, Baylor isn't going away.
