Mizzou isn't a top tier university. They're mediocre at best, and that's with the best run of combined academic success in decades currently happening. Mizzou is much closer to also-ran status like Iowa State than they are to matching power with schools like Oklahoma and Texas. The fact that they have an opportunity to push themselves into a higher revenue bracket in the next few years is a lot better an opportunity than some schools similar to Mizzou have.
I think joining the Big10 would have been nice and all, but the fact that they took Nebraska over Missouri just shows the lack of clout the school has.

Re: Big Ten Expansion
How would you go about splitting the Pac 10 into 2 different divisions?

Stanford and Cal must be able to play each other in football every year or they wouldn't have done it that way

To the MWC. That's how the Pac-10 got Utah, by trading ASU and a school to be named later.
