SEC Expansion: Missouri Board Vote Could Mean Big 12 Withdrawal This Week

The University of Missouri's board of curators* is in the middle of a three-day hem-and-haw over important things, one of which is widely believed to be a decision on whether to leave the Big 12. The last time a Mizzou board of curators meeting was met with such wide belief, it did produce an announcement that they're looking at their conference options.

Any vote would be a mere formality, as are all votes in conference realignment. You don't vote on it unless you know it will pass. 

If a vote comes, Power Mizzou reports it will likely be Friday, while some sort of reciprocation from the SEC shouldn't be expected until next week or later.

* My favorite thing about conference realignment, or should I say the only fun thing about conference realignment, has been seeing college football fans learn to do the math on what a "board of curators" means in Texas A&M or Alabama terms. They should all be called councils of elders, like a sci fi movie.

For more, keep checking Mizzou blog Rock M Nation. And stay tuned here for more conference realignment news.

Big12 realignment

I strongly support the idea of fixing the stability of the BIG12 by inviting selfish, money-grubbing University of Texas to become an independent. UT has already devastated the conference by creating an environment that other schools simply could no longer tolerate. If allowed to remain in the BIG12, UT will continue to throw their weight around, bringing more instability. Goodbye I say to UT; go sit by yourself and play with your money.
