All 4 fan bases felt the conferences were trying to force these teams to be rivals in the early days. None of the teams had much shared history before conference realignment.

Arkansas-Missouri still isn’t a rivalry and Missouri is still #unrivaled in the SEC. Iowa-Nebraska is a true rivalry for fans, players, and administrations with plenty of bad blood on both sides.

What made the B1Gs efforts so much more successful than the SEC’s? Missouri has had a good amount of on the field success during this period. Why didn’t this translate into any other fan base caring or disliking Missouri?
