No Mel....Mizzou didn't get it won in the Big 12. Pinkle failed at winning it there. They left for more money, more TV time, and a better conference. Right now the SEC is the best conference. 7 of the last 8 National Championship trophies proves that. 8 of the last 11. 11 of the last 22 if you go back even farther. 50% of the last 2 decades of Championships have gone to the SEC.

The Big 12 is not what it was. PERIOD. Colorado, Nebraska, Mizzou, and A&M left. TCU and West Virginia joined. The Big 12 has what for football schools now??????? Texas & OU. Texas and Oklahoma rule that conference. OSU is the red headed stepchild to OU. Iowa State and "HomeofToto" shouldn't allowed to have football programs, just like Vandy and Kentucky shouldn't be allowed. Hell Go back to the Original Big 8 schools where it all started. Mizzou GONE. Colorado GONE. Nebraska GONE. You get left with Oklahoma for the only powerhouse program left. K-state was never relevent until lately. "HomeofToto" is a basketball school. Iowa State shouldn't have an athletic program. The Big 8 added members to become the Big 12. A&M was part of the Big 12 but simply because they followed Texas, which they hated. Had the SEC allowed them to join years ago, they would have left. They hate being in the shadow of Texas.

The Big 12 has 2 teams in its conference that have won a Football National Title since 1994 when it was formed. The other winner bolted for greener pastures. One day Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will be leaving the Big 12 for the SEC I'm sure to get 16 teams. OSU goes where big brother does. The SEC doesn't want the attitude of Texas and its fans. Once they leave its over for the Big 12. Its coming too.
