This changed due to NCAA legislation which moved the games to a brand new battlefield, the football fields of the campuses. Mizzou’s Director of Athletics, Chester L. Brewer, envisioned adding excitement to the rivalry game by inviting alumni to join in and “come home” to see the game. Thousands of people find their way home or discover their future home at Mizzou every year to participate in the annual homecoming rituals. Festivities of the original homecoming in 1911 included a parade, spirit rally and the game against KU.

The first time this question was asked was by Howard Savage, a staff member of the Carnegie Foundation. In 1930 he asked if such a big corporation such as colleges and universities can concentrate its attention on securing their teams to win while not paying the players who came to their schools for education in the first place.

The reasoning behind this is that we had an outstanding team which sent eighteen kids off to play college football. Therefore, eighteen out of twenty one people were sent off to play college football, which is pretty good in my eyes.

The biggest reason that I am the most influential, however, is my endless array of media outlets. I own newspapers and television stations around the world, but one of my largest assets is the Fox News Corporation. Fox has had a stranglehold on sports broadcasting since the mid 1980’s, and there is no foreseeable reason for that to change. My exploits to take over broadcasting of the NFL, the most popular sport in America today, was the single biggest sports movement of the 80’s. As I was quoted in 1993, shortly after aquiring the rights to televise all NFC games on Fox, leaving CBS, NBC, and ABC to scramble for the leftovers, “We're a network now.
