Title: MU curators may open the door to flee Big 12 Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 04, 2011, 08:55:20 AM http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/mizzou/article_a6ec3c6f-a784-5efb-bae4-f88e3dbef064.html
Quote The course of Mizzou's athletics future, or at least a tell-tale sign of its intentions, might be in the balance today when the University of Missouri board of curators assembles at the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus. While the agenda for the closed session has not been disclosed, it's believed that the meeting will include discussion of the merits of Mizzou leaving the Big 12, most likely for the Southeastern Conference, and could include a vote to empower chancellor Brady Deaton to act on MU's options. If that sounds familiar, that's the tentative step Texas A&M took weeks ago before it moved to join the SEC. Numerous signs point to MU being fed up with the Big 12, which has lost three members in just over a year. Deaton is believed to have mixed feelings, and it's notable that he did not fully take part in a Sunday teleconference among Big 12 board members. The full nature of MU's dance with the SEC remains clouded, as does the SEC's stance despite recent public statements that it is happy with 13 members.

As in relative to having West Virginia as its 14th member. Sorry, WV. HTH.
