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?
This pretty much sums up my thoughts as a Mizzou fan and Alum.
Something to take an honest look at, at least this year, from a competitive standpoint, is that the SEC East would be an easier schedule than the Big 12 round robin.
That obviously will change over the next few year Im sure but I think Mizzou going into the east will be a little bit easier as far as transition goes into the SEC. It might give our program a chance to get in and get used to the water a bit before some of the East teams rebound.
I dont think that Mizzou is going to come in and win division and conference. I do, however, think that many underestimate our program a bit.
Moving conferences affects many things for a program, especially recruiting. We will have to build up new networks in the SEC footprint while keeping one foot in Texas.
It will take time, but we will find our footing. Those that profess this team a yearly doormat will be mistaken.

Your Tigers will be in the same general camp as UK and maybe UT, until UT gets its act together again, just slightly ahead of Vandy. Get used to it. It would only be worse for you in the West.
