If this is true, it makes me think that we honestly think MU is going to stay, and if we go to twelve, it's going to be with BYU and Louisville.

Whatever the hangup is with BYU, they'll get over it (both sides). We need their TV draw, and with the MWC/C-USA alliance, they aren't going to want to sit out of a major conference. The LDS is savvy enough to realize a BYU in a non-optimal situation is better than a BYU with absolutely nothing to play for.

A couple of fellas that are on PowerMizzou have posted the exact same info this AM

Gabe DeArmond is saying that 2 independent sources have both told him that the SEC move is imminent. Supposedly, there is a BOC meeting this week, and the withdrawl (he called it a conditional withdrawl) would be announced after the meeting.

Said that the timeline has been very carefully orchestrated by yhe SEC and MU for legal purposes. Take it FWIW. He's generally pretty measured, but he said that his source told him for the first time that the move is 100%.

Nope. WVU would only try to keep the BigEast together if they knew they weren't getting invited to the SEC... which means they believe MU is taking the 14th spot.

And maybe Louisville is abstaining because the BigXII already has them on speed-dial in the event MU leaves.

It really can't happen soon enough.

Like I keep saying, I hope the bill the Big 12 sends moo is an extremely large one.

If MU leaves and we are looking at ten with Louisville, we may as well put a "For Sale" sign in the front yard of the conference headquarters.

What a loser league if that's what happens.

Agreed. That league will be horendous.

I just can't understand why the BigXII would be content at 10 members, leaving a school like WVU sitting on the sideline. crap, expand to 11 and take Notre Dame's "other sports." For the love of god! It makes too much sense!

Pfffft. We let Nebraska and Colorado go for a fraction of what they should've owed. We were set to let A&M go without much issue. What would make one think we're going to call Missouri on their bullshit this time?

Yea I know they won't but I like to fantasize that they will.

WFT is that crap? The Big12 Chairman feels like his preference has no power?

Chipster's back at it.

For the S2TB crowd, he says MU is gone. BYU, WVU, and Louisville for 12. WVU or Lousiville for 10.

There is a difference between opinion and a relayed report. Last month Thamel, and 95% of the world outside of Missouri, was of the opinion that they were staying in the Big 12. Today a well placed source told him they were voting this week to leave, now he no longer thinks that they will stay.

If we go to 12, do you separate OU and UT like the Big 10 did with Ohio St and Mich? You would just make them designated rivals.

Divisions

Old Big 8ish

OU
OSU
KU
KSU
ISU
BYU

Old SWC/BE

UT
TT
TCU
Baylor
WV
Lousiville

No idea how you'd do designated rivals outside of OU/UT

I don't like the designated rivals idea. Just put OU, OSU and UT in the same division and put West Virginia and Louisville in the north.
