Apparently T. Boone Pickens is concerned:

They are also a couple of tweets floating around that Mizzou has not committed to the Big XII, even though they are all currently meeting in Dallas. More interesting stuff to come, I am sure.

And apparently the University of Kentucky is in Mizzou's corner as well:

Quoted and followed up with unnecessary prose in order to show my complete agreement with the post.

Is that the same T. Boone Pickens who was singing this tune last June?


"I don't know what Missouri's going to do," he told the Austin American Statesman. "You can't tell about them. I don't have to have 'em."



"I have a strong streak of loyalty and that's the way I feel about Kansas, Iowa State and Kansas State. I don't wanna go off and leave them. I don't care about Missouri."



He can chug a nice cool glass of shut the **** up with an antifreeze chaser.

Hearing from sources that Big 12 pursuit of Louisville heating up, Air Force and Navy have offers from Big East.

I would miss the rivalry game if the Tiger left.

Infu**ingdeed.

I think there's no way the Big East will be considered a BCS conference as soon as SYR and Pitt are gone.

Sounds like the Big12 is talking a lot about being a 9, 10, 12, or 16 team league.

Wouldn't 9 be better than 10? I personally still prefer the 12... but that's one less mouth to feed so each school is getting a little more money from the current TV deals. We can go back to playing 4 non-conference games, then go back to 16 conference games in BBall.

I would like to get enough teams so there could be a conference championship game. That way Mizzou could live with the illusion they're an elite program for an extra week before Oklahoma or Texas spanks them by three touchdowns and then blame Kansas for their shortcomings.

There's been a lot of completely unrealistic scenarios bandied about in this thread, but yours might be the worst offender.

wilnerhotline: B12 bracing for Mizzou to leave, considering a plan to add 4 schools: BYU, Boise, WVU and Ville. Many steps btwn here and there, of course

KU and Louisville in bball coupled with OU and UT in football.

That's premier.

Compared to what? Florida and Kentucky in basketball and an entire conference of football teams?

I never knew that aTm has no chick cheerleaders.

Weird.
