with the addition of the four Texas schools, Texas in particular. But the good news in the SEC is there is nothing binding a school to stay in the conference (unlike the Big XII.)
A simple half paragraph of Missouri saying it is leaving effective date ---- will suffice.
I don't know what it is like to lose conference rivalries you grew up with. I can only imagine.
But Big XII conference uncertainties in 2011 put Missouri in a difficult spot and it had to choose what the future held for Missouri going forward.
That future was the SEC.
But to your statement that the Big 8 'was' the best fit. 'Was' is the operative word in your sentence and unfortunately the Big 8 can never come back. Thank Texas for that.
