That's my advice to you. Arky tried to become a football school again, like Mizzou did, and they're back to the bottom again. Short term football competitiveness is just fool's gold for 75% of programs.

I love college football too much to ever want to go down that path. In fact I'd be furious if the school did that.
That said I'm not oblivious to what MU is up against swimming with the sharks.
Hopefully they continue to try to do both. To your point though I do see MU as a school that is capable of making a final four and winning a championship in hoops whether it ever happens or not. I do not see it as a school capable of winning the SEC in football at this time. But I want them to try like heck anyway.
