Plus, a lot of folks (alumni especially) didn't like the "Southeastern" connotation.

I remember that especially. It was a weird sort of reaction. Folks were fine with any sort of western affiliation, but being part of the Southeastern United states was too much.
A lot of it was the perception that the Big-12 was biased toward Southern schools -- Texas and Oklahoma in particular. But I think part of it was cultural, too.
And with Arkansas already a longtime SEC school, it was a lot easier for Missouri to jump in, too.
