value. You interpret every statement of mine as an attempt to boost up MU and put down the Big 10. The Big 12 hasn't been a good bb league in large part because historically MU hasn't been holding up their end of the bargain.

When I was making that post back in 2010, I wasn't trying to say that the Big 12 was strong, it clearly reads that it wasn't. MU's conference failures during the Big 12 era are a large part of that.
