may be a good dc, not really sure-was a bad HC. Missouri will make a very milque toast hire, probably drinkowicz or bill clark type hire. Sterk looks pretty inept. I don't think they have any money unlike Arkansas.
Best guess is he will go to VaTech with Justin Fuente, where he was his DC at Memphis for a few seasons.
Yep. Short sided money grab. Didn't consider the long term consequences to the program being so far out of the SEC footprint geographically. T A&M is in the same boat except they have boat loads of cash and a more fertile recruiting ground. They let their hate of Long horn get the better of them. They'd both be better off still in the B12 on the field.
I believe A&M left due to their hate of the money grubbing Longhorns but wasn’t the future of the league in question when Missouri left?
A&M, Missouri and Colorado bailed. And yes, the future of the league was in doubt. Texas, OU, Ok State and Baylor very close to joining the Pac-10.
The league was in danger of disintegrating during that time. Back when their was all that re-alignment talk and Texas/Oklahoma coming west etc...Texas was a big reason why Colorado, Nebraska, T A&M, and Missouri left. They've had in the B12 what USC thinks it deserves in the Pac, a larger cut of revenue than the other schools because they're Texas. Oklahoma I think also got a larger cut than everyone other than Texas to keep them from bolting and causing the league to fold.
Imagine USC getting say 25% of the Pac tv revenue, Oregon getting 15%, and everyone else splitting the rest. I know USC fans think it should be this way
Nebraska is hurt that you left them out of your post......
