Can you say Big 12-2-1-1
I would say with the resignation they are all but gone and the SEC is going to go to 16. We may be seeing the whole drama re-start sooner rather than later.
I wouldn´t read too much into the resignation. He can´t serve 2 masters at a time. In his day job he has to do what´s best for Mizzou and the regents did tell him to look around and see what kind of deal he can get and in his other job he has to do what´s best for the Big 12 and try to keep it together. Doesn´t mix.
Maybe, but if you are loyal to the conference you would want to keep that post in the conference office. My guess is they are out of there.
Good for Mizzou!!!!
god damnit mizzery

Will Missouri students start wearing khakis and sun dresses to their games? When it's 40 degrees in November?

Love that the Mizzou meeting was held in St. Louis. St. Louis, most definitively, is NOT in the South or East.

And Scotty's one of the more realistic contributors to Bleacher Report. :smile2:
What nobody knows about is that the Sooners were trying to put together a Sooner network (like LHN) for a year or two. I believe that they successfully used the Pac-12 interest to get that deal done and we will see news come out in 3-6 months about them launching a network in the near future. I do think that it will be a combo network along with Okie State, so it won't be SoonerNetwork but more like OKSports.
I think Mizzou is pushing for the same type of thing and could partner with KU and KSU (and maybe Iowa State too) to have a regional network that covers STL, KC, Wichita, Des Moines, etc and kick in some extra cash for their 3rd tier rights.
Gotta lock down that Ames TV demographic before making any kind of move. Once that golden goose is tied up, then the conference dominos start falling.I think Mizzou is pushing for the same type of thing and could partner with KU and KSU (and maybe Iowa State too) to have a regional network that covers STL, KC, Wichita, Des Moines, etc and kick in some extra cash for their 3rd tier rights.
I don't know why MU would want any part of the SEC.
They have no cultural connection, and they'll be perpetual doormats.
Why on earth would someone trade two programs you'll never be able to compete with for 8?
They should wait on the B1G

The state of Missouri borders three SEC states, three BiG states, and three Big 12 states. They'd fit in anywhere they wanted to go.
