Below is a statement from B. Smith given after the decision was announced MIZZOU would be moving to the SEC:

After reading his statement, Smith doesn't seem concerned about the wrestling program surviving the move.

The talk in the MO papers WRT MU Wrestling is the move will force an overhaul on the regional/conference qualifying process. It is still unclear where MU will land but there have been rumors they could end up in the places named above and I've also heard they could land in the Eastern Wrestling League. Seems unlikely but you never know.

Once Nationals are finished, there will be announcements as to what we can expect.

One other interesting fact... B. Smith's contract ends this year.
