Remember the times when we were clamoring for Mizzou to finally be let into the SEC vs. Big 12 challenge? Those were the days.
To be fair, it probably makes sense to include the Tigers every season no matter what sort of team they’re fielding. Missouri’s history with every team in the Big 12 (aside from West Virginia and TCU) makes it a compelling draw for fans, much more so than watching another mid-tier SEC program take on a Kansas State or Texas Tech.
It feels like the SEC’s refusal to put Mizzou on the spot for so long may have come at their own detriment.
