There are people within MU's administration that didn't want to go, remember. Deaton was widely considered to be one of them (if not the chief among them).

There's a very good chance that this was nothing more than a rogue MU admin that decided to try to play God. It's a lot more likely than a journalist quoting Chip Brown as an 'unnamed MU admin'

As I understand it nothing would prevent an SEC team from starting their own network, correct? Why does that not worry Mizzou?

Either way, here's hoping it won't screwing Mizzou.

Because the SEC is going to go the B1G route and form an SEC network. Florida already has their own network, from what I have read, it just does not generate the type of money that LHN did, so it does not get the attention. Florida, unlike Texas, will fold their network into a SEC network, and everyone will win.

Did you actually read what he wrote? "The MVC has an agreement to take both KU and KSU..." @GregSwine

Feel Time Radio. I accurately predict the future and love T Booger Pickens.

mnchiefsguy has outed himself as a dumbass. He can join Stewie and HHG at the back of the room.

SEC owns each schools tier 3 rights, but thus far has allowed each school to market the rights on their own. So it would have to receive approval from the league, which seems unlikely considering that every SEC insider is saying the goal of expansion is to have the infrastructure to support an SEC Network.

And honestly, take off the blinders for just a second and look at the Big 12. Do you honestly think any conference that actually has leadership would allow an LHN type of problem to destroy their league like it has destroyed the Big 12?

Sorry, I did read that, but was focusing more on the OU/Texas part. The MWC part seemed so far out of left field that I did not give it any consideration.

Oh boy. RT @DaveSittler: Source: Big 12 will have two separate announcements today, perhaps late morning. Let the guessing begin.

Mizzou fans are too close to the situation right now. I think the whole lot of them could use a timeout.

eh...

Big 12 presidents and chancellors have voted to invite TCU to join the league, should be finalized over next several days.
