There are 3 reasons to miss the current B12:
1) Having the conf hoops tournament in our own state was fun
2) For KC folks, it was nonstop interaction and rivalry with ku and kstate.
3) MU has like 12,000 alums in DFW....so for those folks, the B12 was a nice setup.
Best parts of SEC:
1) the Road trips to Nashville, Ole Miss/Memphis (driveable and fun); other SEC travel is fun, but costly and time consuming; bowls can be better for MU
2) women’s sports are on another level and MU can compete in most which is greatly enhanced by .....
3) money/SECN
4) Arkansas games make a lot of sense regardless of conf
Advantages of Big Ten would be
1)Lots of drivable to schools
2) More football wins possible
3) better men’s hoops environment
4) more MU alums/students in IL than any other state
5) academic snobbery
6) cash/BTN
they all have their pros and cons
Mizzou is a very unique state in that fits anywhere and therefore nowhere; perfect league is largely determined by where you live and what floats one’s boat the most
