I don't agree.
This is about MONEY... Big 10 adding Mizzou is means bigger tv contract.
Missouri is the 19th biggest state for population with 6.1 million. Oregon is 27th with 4 million. Missouri has two top 30 television markets Kansas City and St Louis.
There is only FOUR states in the Big 10 Missouri would be bigger than... on the other hand vs SEC Mizzou has more populated state than NINE sec schools.
So another way to put it Missouri is the FORTH biggest market for SEC. So yanking the FORTH biggest state from SEC is major.
Trust me they'd love to have mizzou.
