How come Tennessee gets absolutely zero blame for holding up Missouri? They are even more against Mizzou screwing up their only truly historical rival than Alabama is (although Alabama also very much wants to keep the UT game). Alabama would still have its biggest rivalry (Auburn), but Tennessee would lose their one true cherished rival (Alabama).

I'll ask again. Why is it more important to please the brand new member at the expense of AT LEAST 2 charter members? Missouri is the party crasher here. They should be the ones to accomodate the rest of the league, not the other way around.

I guess I missed the announcement where Mizzou was insisting on anything. What accomodation is Missouri demanding?

Everything I hear is "Bama against it, Auburn for it" or something like that. It's probably just a more appealing story if it's a Bama/Auburn situation. I actually haven't heard anyone say UT was against Missouri joining, I just assume that's the way.
