Why stop now, Kansas and K State are in play. I hear Colorado School of the Mines is looking to go SEC.

Please, KU and KSU are going to be lucky to end up in the MWC if the big 12 ever falls apart (ie when Texas goes independent)

I like this move. I'm from East Tennessee and have lived in the Kansas City area now for 11 years. Culturally MU is actually a pretty good fit for the SEC. If their new basketball coach works out, they will be competitive in basketball in most years and they probably are a middle of the road SEC football school who will probably win as many as they lose each year. They are probably a better team right now than Tennessee in both football and basketball. With Bray and Hunter then Tennessee is a superior football team right now in my opinion. Plus the SEC gets the added bonus of increasing the academic profile of the league as MU has a terrific reputation academically.

I like the addition of A & M and Missouri. I, for one, however, think that academics in conference realignment is poppy cock.

Sounds to me the A&M, MU haters are the same ones worried about losing to Vandy and Kentucky this year. Scared of competition.

Do everyone a favor go slurp for LSU or Bama.

I miss the days of smaller 8 team conferences where all teams played each other once and there was room for 2 - 3 out-of-conf games. Seems it made for stronger tradition and rivalry.

I don't remember an eight team SEC. When was that?

I say bring it. We have to do what we do and can't worry about anyone else. Just get better and start winning again.

I just don't feel the mizzou vibe, but oh well.... They didn't ask me. But if they had, by God... I would of told them.

Post-2011 identity.

I just don't know who we are anymore.

If you're wringing your hands about an "identity," maybe you can console yourself with the fact that Missouri was a slave state that largely wanted to secede along with the south.

The actual truth is that the only identity the SEC has anymore is defined by the size of its TV contract. Texas A&M (Houston) and Mizzou (St. Louis and KC) add three TV markets that are instantly bigger than any other in the conference's footprint other than Atlanta. It sucks but this is what college football is now.

I'm sure the SEC would have trembled at your thoughts too. I see them as a good move here. Dont be scared of the football program as much of the BB program. Double jeopardy.

All Missouri represents to me is another easy SEC win...which is a good thing.

Now there was a time when I was worried about them putting Mizzou in the west and moving Auburn into the eastern division which means we would have lost the annual rivalry with Alabama and had to compete with a talented Auburn team for the eastern crown in years to come.

Now that it has been announced that Mizzou will join the east I like this move.
