Folks may not like adding Mizzou, but adding another AAU school means the SEC will have four in 2012, doubling it's current number in one year and ensuring more AAU members than the Big XII.
It also ensures that other SEC universities have a greater chance at being added in the future, should they meet requirements ... We are still talking about Universities, and not the NFL, after all ...
Mizzou won't threaten the SEC power balance, and will have an opportunity to either grow or fail on their own merits. Adding Mizzou to the East means that traditional SEC rivalries are likely to survive.
And, once the SEC/ESPN/SEC Network partnership comes online in a couple of years, no one will be griping about all of those homes in St. Louis and Kansas City and the SEC Network subscriptions they bring in. Same for Houston, D/FW, San Antonio, etc.
So, in short, Slive and the SEC University presidents have laid the groundwork for a $$$-making conference network, improved the conference academic prestige , and brought in new members that don't ruin the SEC power balance, but have a chance to grow and compete, or not. Not a bad year's work.

I am hoping that the SEC network will be a Fox partnership or even CBS. CBS is trying to break into college football (outside of already having the SEC) with CBS Sports. I pretty much detest the people in Bristol at this point.

Quit it with this AAU shite. AAU is like the Nobel Peace Prize. Complete Fraud.
