Gregorian doesn't seem to be remotely aware that Deaton & Alden were essentially forced to bail by the state legislature.

Mo. budget cuts played role in Mizzou switch to SEC

University of Missouri-Columbia Chancellor Brady Deaton says state funding cuts played a role in his decision to move the school from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference.

Deaton said Monday that his concern about instability and uncertainty of the Big 12 was enhanced because state funding for higher education has been cut several times in recent years, and still is not at the level originally budgeted in 2001.

Deaton made his comments while speaking to the annual Missouri-Kansas Associated Press Publishers and Editors Meeting.

He says the switch to the SEC was not all about money. But Deaton says the SEC offered a more stable and financially lucrative future, especially as the university tries to get its athletics department to be self-sufficient financially.

Absolutely true.

Exactly.

How is that new information Prison Bitch?

Mizzou thought that the B12 was going to implode, and if they didn't act they'd be holding their dicks hoping for an invite into the Mountain West.

It's not new information and that is the whole point: Gregorian totally missed it. When he says finances should take a backseat to competition/rivalries he is really out of the loop.

The rivalry already lost its luster

Even if they do play I don't think people will give a **** the same way they used to :shrug:

Completely agree. I've been saying this all along. Rivalries simply don't matter when it isn't a conference foe.

The big conferences are already encountering this problem with teams that are going to rarely end up facing one another in sports like football where there aren't that many games played year in and year out.

Who would have thought after all this that schools like Kansas, KSU and Oklahoma would be sitting in the best possible position for their fans?

How many times, and in how many ways, does this need to be proven incorrect to you, for you to quit thinking it's true?

He knows it is not true, but he is not honest enough to admit it.

Did people outside of Johnson county even care about the MU/KU rivalry?

Great rivalries are built in conference when both teams play at extremely high levels.

NYY/BOS, Duke/UNC, Oklahoma/Texas, UCLA/USC, Giants/Dodgers, Packers/Bears...

Too bad OU/Texas was a rivalry for what---60 or 70 years before they were in the same conference?

Rivalry fail.
