You've got to consider the recruiting landscape, though. Mizzou spent a year or even more in some cases recruiting players to a Big XII school. Texas is our biggest state to recruit from, and we successfully used the pitch that the kids could play in Texas several times over their time at Mizzou.
When we left to the SEC, all the Texas kids who signed on to Mizzou because of their ability to play in Texas suddenly had no compelling reason to stay. There are plenty of kids who will want to play for Mizzou in the SEC. We'll just have to target those kids in the future.
