As for Bob Frederick, why would you not want a guy with Big 8 ties over a guy who helped sink the SWC? Heck, KSU had less love for Bob Frederick and they were smart enough not to put their eggs in the Hatchell basket. You can say what you want, but Frederick was a much better choice as commissioner than a proven failure like Hatchell. Frederick may not have been the best athletic director, but the guy would have been right at hom as commissioner of a conference. No, Missouri made their choices.

And Kansas gets to crash and burn for them, so they made the right choices
