"We were approached by the Big 12, and I told them we're not a good fit for that conference. In the Big 12, geography makes sense, the economics make sense, but recruiting makes no sense for us. I can't recruit against Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State," Mueh said.

"That's why I turned down the Big 12. I can't do that to my kids, because they'll get beat up. I'd love the extra $12 million or whatever it would be per year from the TV money. And I know how I'd spend the money. I'd build a new soccer stadium, and I'd build a new baseball facility, all in one year. But I can't do that."

How did that defeatist POS get a job as the AD for one of our service academies?

yeah, they pretty much said they couldn't compete in recruiting and on the field in the Big XII.  And it getting Navy/Army into the Big E. God knows it wasn't about conference stability.  The biggest surprise was their non-football sports joining the MVC.

6 out of 10 ranked Big 12 teams.  Last week, there wasn't a single conference game that involved any two non-ranked teams.

What a football conference.

Skip to the bottom for Trim...

Mizzou doesn't have the votes.  May be two votes short and not just one.  Looks worse for them by the day.

Slive really wants ACC teams, but has to settle.  SEC wants TV sets, but their schools don't feel like adding Mizzou enhances their brand. 

MU is still trying to get the Big Ten to open up with a whole lot of, "No, denied."

Big 12 has reached out to WVU.

What is the legitimacy of this blog? Is this just a WVU guy who is shirt tuckin his way to the SEC, or is it actually something reliable?

Hard to tell.  There's a good chance he's a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) based on his spelling of "St. Luis" (sic).

Beebe article states that chairman of the board, OSU president, stated that the conference wants to stay with 10 teams for the immediate future.  Shitty if true.

Yesterday Texas again made overtures to Missouri and whispered sweet notions of long time security and tier 3 rights into receptive Tiger ears.

And while the Tigers and Longhorns exchanged notes of affection the Tigers also began back-channel discussions with the B10.

Wonder what texas offered up.

Also, how many times does the big10 have to say no?  I bet they just keep stringing them along for shits and giggles.

Air Force AD is making a calculation that the Big East has a better chance of keeping AQ than the MWC of getting it.  Obviously they would get pounded in the Big 12.  Not worried about travel since I think they have good access to airplanes?

brilliant to offer wvu.  Forces sec to move or not move on them, decent value for us, no way we beat out sec, which takes MU off the table.  and I thought beebe was genius
