I still think aggy and Mizzou hosed themselves in the long run with their move to the SEC. A 10-team conference with those two instead of WVU and TCU would have been the optimal long-term solution for all 10 schools but the dumbass aggys' ill-advised envy of Bevo hosed things up for themselves and needlessly put ISU and other schools at risk.
