You went to the SEC because your St Louis contingent, which is far larger and more powerful than the local one here, never cared for the Big 8/Big Texas conference. They had zero connection to those areas of the country or the schools there, but they were very connected to the BIG (their first option) and the SEC (their 2nd option) due to proximity.
Since St Louis has almost 3x the number of alums that Kansas City does, it made sense they got their way and moved the games and events all closer to themselves. That's why the Gateway Arch game still goes on but there was nothing in Kansas City last year and only one garbage hoops game this year. The Kansas City alums were just too dumb to notice what was going on.
