Will they make more money, yes. Will they ever win the SEC West? No. They were in a positon in the Big 12 North where they stood a good chance of getting to the title game every year, and anything can happen in one game (right Tennessee? Ha ha, you suck UT).
They will immediately get lost in the middle with MSU, Ole Miss, Kentucky, etc. Hope they enjoy Music City bowls.

With 10 members, the Big XII no longer plays a title game. Missouri has to play a complete round robin and won't benefit from playing in a weaker division if they stay in the Big XII.
But, to answer your question, it may not be advantageous in the short term, but it beats being left without a suitable conference home, which is a very realistic prospect if Texas ever gives up on the LHN, and takes OU, OSU, and Tech with them to the Pac 12.

This is a tired and exhausted argument. For Mizzou, the SEC offers much more in potential for growth in all of their programs. You could argue that the SEC is not the best conference this season (top to bottom, the SEC is very top heavy this season, and then it drops off hard). Just like A&M, Mizzou has the potential for more revenue and exposure, plus a better fan experience. This will give them the potential to improve their product. The Big 12 does not offer this, so why would they stay there?

Stopped reading right there. Yall say the same thing about us. "Arkansas will never win the SEC West, or a SEC Championship game."
Arkansas(That lost the majority of its recruiting ground when it left the SWC) won the SEC West in 3 years of joining the SEC.
No reason what so ever to say that any team can't win a division. Will they come in immediately and win? Most likely not but to say they will never win their division is stupid.

Not quite related to the OP, but I was surprised to find out that Missouri is one of the largest states (roughly 6 million people) with only one FBS school.
I believe the only states with a larger population and just one FBS school are:
Massachusetts (Boston College)
New Jersey (Rutgers)

What were Arkansas, South Carolina, etc. a few years ago? They're now in competition for division titles. Missouri is capable of doing the same eventually.

Exactly. They'll be a middle pack team. As of right now they can't compete with the Big 12 top teams, now they want the SEC. Good luck. They'd be better in the Big 12 and hope the Big 12 go back to divisions.

If Arkansas & South Carolina can win their divisons so can Mizzou. I believe the are in a better postion then when the other two joined.

My friend, had Mizzou beaten Oklahoma once in 2007 then they would have been playing in the BCS Championship Game, not LSU.
