I'll be honest...I thought 3-4 years ago that the B1G was a better fit for Mizzou at first glance. I have no shame in admitting it. It was closer geographically for the most part and it had a better academic standing than all other conferences. I really didn't consider the SEC when talking about re-alignment...I just knew that the status quo (Big 12) was a sinking ship and hoped we would get off. I didn't consider the Pac 10 as likely either.
And when we got an actual invitation to the SEC I was excited but a little nervous. Like the majority of the country, I care more about football than basketball and going to the SEC was going to be a big step up in the level of competition. Ask me now what I think? I couldn't be happier with the way things worked out. I think the B1G is a good conference still, 2nd or 3rd best with the PAC being the other. I know all 3 are better than the big 12...something I don't think anyone outside of a KU fan would even waste their time disputing.
