Source: Mizzou has SEC offer, but SEC willing to wait

COLUMBIA | The Southeastern Conference has an offer on the table for Missouri to join its league, and SEC officials are willing to wait for an answer from Missouri until the future of the Big 12 is decided.

That information has come to The Star through a Mizzou booster who spoke directly to a MU official. Another source told The Star on Tuesday that an Oklahoma official had said the SEC is interested in Missouri.

MU chancellor Brady Deaton has gone on record numerous times that, as chairman of the Big 12’s Board of Directors, he is working on keeping the Big 12 together.

But with Texas and Oklahoma regents each authorizing school officials to look elsewhere on Monday, the prospects of a viable Big 12 without either or both of those schools would be in question.

“Apparently they’ve come to us,” the MU booster said of the SEC. “I’ve been told there is an offer on the table.”

That same source said it was the second time the SEC has made an overture to Missouri, the first coming last year.

The last golden ticket.

[SUPERCOACH]

This I believe too.

That makes me think we are going to 16 for sure. I don't think Missouri is our second choice. I can't think of a better choice from the West since Texas and Oklahoma are chicken.

I think Mizzou is on board. Not sure a bout teams 15 and 16.

Ruins of a campus building, Academic Hall, hit by a tornado and destroyed by fire.


1892 fire at Academic Hall.

I've never been a fan of the Missou football team, but they have a good school.  One kind of sad story, which they share now with Tuscaloosa, is that their campus suffered a tornado hit back in 1932.  I've visited their school and walked the central campus.  There's a monument to that storm and those lost.  It's an attractive campus, reminiscent of the University of Maryland's central campus (to me at least).

Wow, Preacher and I called this one yesterday. Now if my prognostications for this weekend's games can fare as well.

Pcikens needs to talk with Texas not TAMU. When you're as rich as that guy you can pay people around you to say yes all day long. Doesn't matter if you're right or not./quote]

True. I don't think it will matter. But if he solves this conference break up and everyone goes on about their business, the sec with 12 teams. I might think about buying one of his windmills.
