Big 12 commissioner worried that Insight Bowl might pass on Missouri

Big 12 commissioner worried that Insight Bowl might pass on Missouri
By MIKE DeARMOND
The Kansas City Star

Missouri, whose athletic department officials as late as Tuesday thought the Tigers would be invited to play in the Insight Bowl, is preparing for the worst: Selection to play in the Dec. 31 Texas Bowl in Houston.

The Texas Bowl has the final spot in the pecking order of eight bowl games contracted by the Big 12 Conference.

“This isn’t over,” Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe said Wednesday afternoon in a telephone interview with The Kansas City Star.

“I know (Missouri athletic director) Mike Alden and the Missouri folks have made a tremendous case to all the bowls they might be selected to," Beebe said. "I don’t know that Missouri could do a better job than they are doing.”

And, Beebe added, he shares the concern of MU officials that the Tigers might be passed over for the Insight Bowl bid by a 6-6 Iowa State team.

“I am concerned about a bowl that would select a team that has two less wins and was beaten by that team head to head.”

Unfortunately, that is just the scenario Missouri officials have come to fear.

“We’re hearing that the Insight Bowl may prefer to invite Iowa State than us,” said Chad Moller, the director of media relations for MU athletics. “The last time they played there they brought 20,000 fans.”

So, 6-6 Iowa State in the Insight Bowl, and 6-6 Texas A&M in the Independence Bowl, and 8-4 Missouri in Texas bowl?

“That’s what we’re hearing, too,” Zac Emmons, a spokesman for the Houston-based Texas Bowl, told The Star on Wednesday afternoon.

Alden was obviously not happy about the situation. However, for public consumption at least, Alden repeated the Big 12 Conference party line.

“The bowls can invite any team they choose,” Alden said. “We’ll be excited to play in any bowl we are invited to.”

However, Alden said he had spoken several times with Beebe on the matter and that Missouri would continue to do everything within the rules of the Big 12 Conference to inform bowl officials of the pluses of inviting Missouri.

This might be a blessing for Missouri actually. Houston would be alot better for recruiting purposes.

I agree with this. It sucks getting passed over, but the Texas Bowl on ESPN would be better for recruiting.

Exactly - ESPN > NFLN. Not to mention Mizzou can spend a week talking to all the Houston high school coaches. Also Navy with the option would be a decent opponent.

****, I didn't think about having to play Navy. Being an ex-Navy guy, that would kind of suck for me personally.

Yeah, they'd prefer the gayhawks, but they aren't going to any bowl games for some reason.

As a Mizzou fan, I don't really care. If it's not the NC, a bowl's pretty much a bowl. One sponsor's name doesn't really impress me any more than any other sponsor's name.

Exactly.

Being in Houston(a prime MU recruiting area) for a week & being able to bring recruits to practices would seem to be a no-brainer.

I do understand that MU wouldn't get the travel expenses compared to the Insight but Navy is a better opponent.

Insight and Texas are both on NFLN, so exposure would be the same. But I think a week of being pimped in Houston would do great for recruiting.
