Gabe did a whole article on how we got in the SEC.
ALDEN: “I’m confident soon thereafter, Brady probably would have had a discussion with Bernie Machen. I’m just guessing. I can promise you I called Mike Slive. He’d known me since I was a little guy. I’m just calling him, ‘Commissioner Slive, have you seen what’s happening out here? Would there be anything?’ If you know Mike Slive he’s always playing the cards close to the vest and he’s very precautionary. He said, ‘Mike, I hear you. I’ve got a lot of respect for you, got a lot of respect for Gary, I know that people have a lot of respect for the Chancellor. You guys have a good school, but right now we’re just not sure. But let me tell you how much I appreciate you reaching out.’ Then I called (SEC Deputy Commissioner) Greg Sankey because I know him. ‘Hey man, I’m just saying. Because you hear what’s going on here.’ Soon thereafter then the SEC indicated that hey we’d like you to be able to come out and talk to us. It was really important that the SEC never came after us. That’s true. Mike Slive is too smart for that. They never solicited Mizzou. Ever...What we wanted to do was be able to communicate to the SEC that if the SEC was interested in expanding by another school here’s the information about the University of Missouri. Soon after that game, we communicated, hey, we may have to do what’s best for us.”
