[Husker] Mizzou looking to bail...

[David Strong]

Hi Scott...hey I don't doubt for a bit that all of this is true.  The SEC
schools make more money, certainly looks like it.  But money is not the
reason Missouri is leaving the Big 12.  It's a combination of Texas
arrogance, the conference instability caused by Texas arrogance, and being
treated as a second class citizen in their conference due to Texas
arrogance.  Nebraska left because of Texas, A&M left because of Texas,
Colorado left...well, I guess it was a good time to leave.   Missouri is
leaving because of all that has happened...caused by Texas  More money where
they are going?  Bonus!
