Houston & SMU in the Big EAST

WVU in the Big 12 (which will now have 10 teams).

Missouri in the SouthEAST Conference (a city that's only south of Chicago and is West of teh city that's called the "Gateway to the West").

Do the conference titles have any relevance anymore? Why not rename them "Super Badass Football Conference #1!!!"

Is it really that big of a deal? Why do you care?

The Saints used to be in the NFC West. The Arizona Cardinals used to be in the NFC East. Why do misnomers aggravate you so?

Why do people care so much about Titles anymore? Its a name. Just because it doesnt fit your definition of a direction or area doesnt mean that others cant look past petty issues.

Did Texas basically ruin college football?

WVU in the Big 12? Missouri in the SEC? All for the sake of a shitty personal network?

There goes tradition. There goes regional pride.

Hey, Longhorns... you might think your sh*t doesn't stink but

Missouri cared more about stability than the LHN. The issues Missouri had with LHN were cleared up before they left. LHN started it all but OU,OSU,TT and Texas all trying to run to the Pac 12 only to be turned down on Sept. 20th made it hard to see stability. Texas came back and refused to commit more than 6 years or allow more than 10 universities.

When going to 12 schools and a 10 to 13 year grant of TV rights were put on the table and Texas balked it was easy to see they aren't interested in the long term stability of the conference. Missouri saw it as more of the same where many schools wanted something other than Texas but most refused to stand up to them.

Missouri just doesn't trust that Texas is committed for the long haul and aren't prepared to continue kissing Texas boots and doing what they want.

The geographic center of the lower 48 States is in north central Kansas. Columbia and College Station both make the Southeast quadrant of the country. Add in Hawaii and Alaska, and Boise State would probably be fine.
