Yes, but there wasn't a football option in Missouri other than Missouri, now was there? By the way, I'm perfectly fine with the SEC going after UNC and UVA. I think they will resist more and hold out for B!G offer, and depending on what the SEC timetable is, it may not be worth it. UVA may be the more prestigious university, but most of the polls I have seen doesn't seem to indicate they draw very well for collegiate athletics competition. UNC is more of a toss up, but they have that Duke connection, and I don't think they are going to surrender it until they absolutely have to. There is more of a chance the the B!G would take Duke than the SEC in my opinion.
