I have a counter-proposal: the Big 12 and/or the SEC can keep/take Missouri and Kansas, and the Big Ten will throw in Nebraska. Don't need em, don't want em.
Indiana goes to the West in football (win-win-win), and the Big Ten adds UConn to the East.
how is trading Nebraska for Indiana a win? maybe for Purdue it is, but you just made the BigTen West worse overall.
I don't know goofy, Nebraska and Mizzou are close to being a toss up. 10 years ago that would be insane to say, but Nebraska has slipped some while Mizzou has risen in profile.
Cheers!
Nothing in Missouri has risen the last 10 years. Missouri is easily one of the most overrated AD's in the entire country and arguably the biggest underachiever AD in the country considering they are the only school in a highly populated state but somehow every surrounding school has been more successful, even Arkansas.
In Football you have to go back to 1945 to find an outright conference championship. They never once won the Big 8 or Big 12. Never played in a BCS game. Attendance dropped by something like 10k this season.
1945 Big Eight Chauncey Simpson 6-4 5-0
1960* Big Eight Dan Devine 11-0 7-0
1969† Big Eight Dan Devine 9-2 6-1
Conference Championships 15
† Denotes co-champions
* The 1960 Big Eight title was retroactively awarded after a loss to Kansas was reversed due to Kansas' use of a player who was later ruled to be ineligible.
In Basketball they have never even been to a final four. Haven't won a regular season title since 1994.
And as far as overall AD accomplishments here they are. 2 Ancient championships in obscure sports.
NCAA team championships[edit]
Missouri has won 2 NCAA team national championships.[26]
Men's (2)
Baseball (1): 1954
Indoor Track & Field (1): 1965
As you can see Missouri is one of those schools who isn't sh*((*), never was sh(^*^*, and never will be SH^$#$. But for some reason people see them as a legit program.
