"Networks" don't pick up crap schools (Mizzou) that nobody wants to see in either sport. TV execs know that all too well.

Maybe in your small social circle they don't....but here in SEC and B1G country I find all kinds of people who not only know about Mizzou, but can actually carry on a pretty good conversation about them.
While you try to make yourself feel better by putting your fingers in your ears and pretending that MU's affiliation with the SEC doesn't give them better coverage the opposite is exactly true.
