Here's the thing: We need to figure something out on the Tier 2 side of things.  The only school that is going to get rich in this league is Texas.  I really should have cranked out the numbers before now, but crap, we're toast if we don't figure something out there.  The Fox deal actually sucks.

So why the hell was everybody so excited when the new Tier 2 contract came out?  Wouldn't the big 12 have been all over this if it looked like they were getting lowballed?

In that case, the Big 12 would potentially add TCU to the South Division and Louisville, Cincinnati and W. Virginia to the North.

There is going to be a meeting this weekend between the remaining schools in the Big 12.  My guess is that they will essentially hammer everything out to the point where Missouri can take it all back to their BOC on Tuesday.  They'll have that meeting and then make a decision.

I would also guess, and this is just a hunch, that there will be some political pressure from Kansas City to preserve Missouri in the Big 12 because of the economic impact of losing Big 12 events in the city.

I still think it's highly unlikely they move.

Isn't MU's pres the old Sprint guy?  Forsee?  And who stands to lose the most if the Big 12 Tourney leaves?  Sprint Center.

Man, I blew this thing open.  You are welcome guys.

If by "renegade" you mean the core of their church, then yes.

Shortly after organizing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1830, Joseph Smith Jr. revealed that the Second Coming of Christ was near, that the City of Zion would be near the town of Independence in Jackson County, Missouri, and that his followers were destined to inherit the land held by the current settlers.

It's Indepmo...pretty sure they could have it now if they wanted.  That way they could get it all spruced up and de-meth'ed for when Jesus gets home.

Jesus hasn't tried meth yet, he might like it.

They have been trying.  But Jesus's home town has taken quite a beating over the past 20 years.

They are going about it wrong.  Half of it is foreclosed on.  Should just go squat on it and wait out the economy.  When the dust settled, they would own most the town without dropping a dime.  Starting to think that having them around may be frustrating.

FYI. Mizzou's president (the Sprint KC guy) quit. They have an interim for the four-campus system and a chancellor in Columbia.

Yeah, I don't think UMKC/this has anything to do with anything.

Let's just ignore Gainesville and the other Columbia

Currently Mizzou's farthest conference trip is to Lubbock, about 796 miles. New longest trip is to Gainesville, about 1,008 miles.

Current shortest trip is to Lawrence, 165 miles. New shortest trip is to Fayetteville, about 312 miles.

so much for the "comparable travel" argument.

[WillieWatanabe]

yes, but Shultzy is Big Boss Man of the expansion committee.   

Ooops. Meant to say Neinas said Mizzou chancellor Brady Deaton no longer chairing 5-member expansion committee in B12. K-State's prez is.
