No no. But the implication that they smiled across the room and sent all these teams for the doors by raiderhader absolutely does.

Apparently a plane went from Columbia MO to Birmingham AL yesterday. NBC Sports says Mizzou to the SEC is still an option:

I'm hearing some weird shit around Columbia about a couple of BoC members being canned and a couple others that may not be approved in time to get a vote in in their stead.

Nobody seems to have a really good idea what's going on, but the gist is that outright politics (not even football related) could stall the legislative session and keep these new appointments from being made. If so, the BoC either A) lacks the votes or B) can't actually meet to approve a move to the SEC.

I'm sure more details will emerge, but it seems like a move may have hit another snag even as the 'smoke' gets a little thicker.

I did see one twitter about Jay Nixon appointing new curators that would support a conference move, but it did not appear to be a legitimate source, and sounded pretty far fetched, so I did not post it.

There are only five curators needed for a quorum. If two of the seven were canned, that is still five. Only a simple majority of that five would be needed to pass anything.

Welcome to the SEC TAMU!

It is more that we want to make 100% sure the votes are in place before an actual vote is taken, rather than not having the votes right now. The two appointments in limbo are pro-SEC, which is why we have delayed the BoC meeting until Tuesday (and potentially could be delayed beyond that if needed).

Just taking extra precaution to avoid any egg on face, which this Mizzou fan definitely appreciates. Have patience.

I don't understand it well enough to 'report' it, but I figured maybe someone around here knew it better than I did so I could get a little more detail on it.

Eh, to hell with it, back to waiting for a result. I'm really tired of this already.

I think once it is in the hands of the curators, it because less of an athletic issue and more of a political one.

On that note, this guy, who covers Texas A&M, says our university leadership met with SEC Commish Slive yesterday. He also that SEC had set a "deadline" for this Friday, but since we can't get the curators together until next Tuesday, the "deadline" has been pushed to next Wednesday.

:hmmm:

No way Mizzou leaves, right? Right?

Starting to smell like the Forces of Darkness are sabotaging this from within.

Sounds like the exact opposite to me. It sounds like the university has already made their decision, and next Tuesday/Wednesday it will be official.

In your opinion, are they staying or going?

Going.
