Champ, while your summary has some ample points, you missed the biggest ones. One, money is king and MU lost that race big. Two, Huntington changed. It went from having fortune 500 companies to none along with unemployment/drug issues. Three, MU and Huntington leadership was a failure with little success in their plans. Lastly, ESPN started to make their mark and eventually decided how they wanted college sports to look like. ESPN is like the Democratic party- control and regulate to the end.
