It's becoming more obvious that Mizzou is on its way out of the Big 12...I think they have burned so many bridges that it won't be pretty for them if they remain in the Big 12.
I don't like those words from the Pac 10 commish regarding expansion. This seems like the recent meeting between Big 12 officals and Pac-10 officals in Phoenix might end up creating the joint Big 12-Pac 10 channel and in that case, the Pac-10 might not have incentive to expand in that situation. Suppose NU and MU goes to the Big 11, I can see BYU and Utah replacing those two in the North.

Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott said the league has also discussed a partnership with the Atlantic Coast Conference. And it has hired the Los Angeles-based Creative Artists Agency as a consultant to explore potential media deals.
Still, Scott isn't convinced that conference expansion -- whether by the Big Ten, a weakened Big 12 or other leagues fighting for relevance and survival -- is inevitable.
"From our perspective, expansion is not a fait accompli," he said. "I haven't heard a compelling argument for why one conference expanding means other conferences have to be bigger too."
