INTRODUCTION

Go through the article and find out why they left the Big 12 and what conference they will be in, in the 2012 - 2013 season. Also if it was smart or not and it was good or bad for their athletic program.  And after all that ask your self overall is it a good decision?

My Viewpoint

My viewpoint of Mizzou to the SEC was a good idea because the SEC shares there money eqauly unlike the Big 12. Also it is a good move because they will bring in better players , while they expand theyre recruiting pipline.

SEC competition may cost Missouri

                The main idea of SEC competition may cost is it persuade the readers that when Missouri moves it will be harder competition in all of their athletics. The connotation of the article is negative because it thinks that the University of Missouri will not be successful in the SEC. The authors viewpoint that it will be harder competition then there former conference the Big 12.

                They think that Missouri will not be successful in the SEC because the best teams in the nation are in the conference. Also they don’t think they would succeed because the recruiting would be harder because all the powerhouse schools would get the 5 star and 4 star recruits to there team.

SEC accepts Missouri for 2012-13

            The main idea of Sec Accepts Missouri for 2012-2013 is to persuade readers that the University of Missouri is going to the SEC. The author’s connotation of the article is positive because every body who talks about the decision thinks it great decision, and they are pleased that they are switching conferences. The author’s viewpoint is that it is a good decision. The crediblity of this website is good because it is the main website to go to for sports. The reason that they are leaving the Big 12 is that Texas and Oklahoma are getting much more revenue than them and every other school in the Big 12.  Also they are leaving because when Texas got the Longhorn network and were going to make big money off the network.

Sooners and Texas decide fate of Big 12

The main idea of Sooners and Texas Decide Big 12 Fate article is to inform the readers that the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma hold the Big 12s fate in their hands. The connotation of the purpose is negative because the Big 12 will no longer be a conference if they leave. The authors viewpoint is that the University’s of Oklahoma and Texas hold the fate of the big 12 in there decision, other might think they don’t the hold the fate of their conference. The websites credibility is good because it gives me statistics and facts. Also it is credible because be links to the sources where they got information. Those two University’s hold the fate of the conference because if Texas and Oklahoma leave to go the Pac 12 then the Big 12 will be no more and the all the other University’s will have to find a new conference for the start of the next year.
