Why, because they make you feel more "Southern" despite costing you money?
No, because I prefer their brands of football and basketball. They make for more interesting competition, better road trips, and also fit in better geographically with the SEC East. They also provide a natural "Hatsfields v. McCoy's" rivalry game for Kentucky.
Mizzou just still feels like kinda an odd fit, a marriage of convenience, and one of arbitrary metrics over considerations like fan experience and rivalries. Mizzou belongs with their real rivals: Kansas, Kansas State, and Nebraska. This forced rivalry with Arkansas just doesn't feel any more natural than Arkansas's forced rivalry with LSU.

Were those things worth less money?
