to allow Missouri and Vandy to leave the SEC and join the BIG. Missouri is a terrible fit in the SEC with Arkansas being their only true rival. Meanwhile they will have natural rivalries with Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa. Missouri is also an AAU school. Vandy academically fits in much better with the BIG than they do the SEC and is an AAU school. With the departure of Missouri and Vandy, the SEC invites Clemson and FSU to join the conference which enhances the SEC's value even more. The BIG then picks up Oregon and Washington. Lastly, with the collapse of the ACC the BIG then picks up UVA and UNC.
