Ultimately, I believe that will happen soon. 12-13 years, and Mizzou will stay.

Wrong and wrong.

Might not see it a first, but a successful Mizzou bball program in the SEC would hurt KU recruiting in this area, given that recruits want TV time and national exposure, which the SEC will provide in spades.

So conference stability was not the issue? Or are you saying that UT/OU would never sign their rights away for 12 years?

Guys on the radio this morning said Mizzou had "held a meeting to decide if they wanted to hold a meeting to explore whether they want to consider leaving B12".
Can anyone translate for me?

He's just making a guess. Sort of like what i'm doing. No one really knows what the hell is going on at this point.

Yeah, right. Bill Self won't be able to recruit in KC. :rolleyes:

Spoken like a true MU fan and KU hater.

As to KC, this is where KU, KSU, and ISU need to flex what little muscle they have. Texas and OU don't really care about BBall, so conceding the BIG XII tourney to KC is an easy bone to throw to those three schools to keep them quiet and in their corner.

I would not be too terribly surprised if an SEC Tournament winds up in Missouri at some point. It would be a great opportunity for SEC hoops to be on display close to B1G country. St. Louis would probably be the pick, but a totally cool scenario would be the Big 12 being in a KC every other year, and in some of the years that the BIG XII is in Dallas or OKC, have the SEC tournament here in KC. Hopefully the city leaders are smart enough to make a pitch and at least try, even though it would be a long shot.

Well yeah. I'm just trying to see why all these MU fans want to leave so bad? Is it because of instability? Or is it just so they can say "Haha, see ya pillowbiters" like billay?

They are currently in a meeting to discuss holding that meeting to translate the meaning of the original meeting.
