Education
Florida- nada
Kansas- 17
Missouri- 45

Please don't cherry pick

Links to see where other public universities rank? For example, here's a source that shows Florida at #47 in law and KU at #67: http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsa...ankings/page+3

As this suggests, once we get beyond the "elite" institutions, there's a great deal of subjectivity. KU, MU, Florida...about the same. Michigan, Texas, blah, blah, blah = on a different level.

Big Ten source says MU is not a high-priority candidate

With Missouri’s flagship university ensnared in uncertainty, its two most powerful figures delivered little clarity to the conference conundrum yesterday. Meeting with reporters at the Reynolds Alumni Center, where the UM Board of Curators is holding two days of meetings, University System President Gary Forsee and MU Chancellor Brady Deaton embraced the school’s century-old relationship with its conference but revealed few clues to what lies ahead, even as the Big 12 Conference continues to crumble.

With Colorado gone to the Pac-10 Conference and Nebraska set to officially join the Big Ten Conference today, Deaton focused on preserving what’s left of the Big 12, while Forsee rattled off MU’s credentials like a carnival barker looking for customers.

“We have an incredible institution at the University of Missouri,” Forsee said after the board finished its second closed executive session of the day. “We have 60,000 fans, on average, who show up to our football games. We have programs that over the past decade have certainly risen to the top nationally in terms of their standing. We have over 30,000 students in this institution. So, rest assured, the University of Missouri is going to be a very significant factor nationally no matter what happens.”

But in what conference? Barring a last-minute peace agreement brokered by the league powers — in the form of a new television contract through the Fox networks — the Big 12 is wobbling on its last legs, despite Commissioner Dan Beebe’s hopes of keeping the conference alive by “working tirelessly towards the long-term viability of the Big 12,” as he stated in a statement released yesterday.

But as the game of conference musical chairs continues, Forsee was reluctant to discuss any possible scenarios while the music is still playing.

“Until we see what plays out over the next few months, or the next year for that matter, we just won’t know,” he said.

Both Forsee and Deaton declined to address any questions focused on the Big Ten and its expansion plans, even when asked point blank if Missouri has been invited to apply for admission into the conference. Earlier in the day, the chancellor’s office circulated an email to school officials reminding them to stay on message with the school's long-held stance on conference realignment and Big 12 loyalty. Forsee and Deaton stuck to the script.

“We’ve said all along we’re making no comments on conference realignment,” Deaton said. “We’re trying to have responsible discussions with our curators on these matters right now and watching what happens out there as the world goes on.”

At this point, the Big Ten’s interest in Missouri is the biggest missing piece of the puzzle. A Big Ten source said Missouri has not been eliminated from the conference’s expansion plans but is not considered a high priority at this time. The source said Texas, from the Big 12, and Notre Dame, an independent in football, are clearly alongside each other on the Big Ten’s top tier of targets, followed by Nebraska, soon to become the Big Ten’s 12th member, and then Rutgers, a member of the Big East Conference. Missouri and Maryland, of the Atlantic Coast Conference, and perhaps other less publicized targets, could figure into the mix if the top choices decide against applying for admission or the league expands beyond 14 members.

Back in the Big 12, media reports have linked Oklahoma and Texas A&M to SEC expansion, while those two, plus Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech, are still considered strong candidates to join the Pac-10.

That was the move Colorado made yesterday, ending an affiliation with a core of schools that became known as the Big Seven back in 1948 when the Buffaloes joined the league from the Mountain States Conference. Despite what might be the Big 12’s most feeble combination of football and men’s basketball programs — plus an athletic department struggling with financial troubles — Colorado pulled off the first move of what could be many across the country. The Buffs are expected to begin competition in the Pac-10 in 2012.

“We look at it as a real class conference,” CU president Bruce D. Benson told the Boulder Daily Camera. “You’re judged by who you associate with and we want to be associated with the Pac-10 because it’s such a great conference. Now that is saying nothing against the Big 12.”

With the news of Colorado’s exit, Deaton said his first priority was discussing the state of the Big 12 with other members of the league’s board of directors, starting with Texas President Bill Powers.

“We have to assess where that leaves us, what we’ll we do as a conference in terms of other schools or whatever,” he said.

With MU’s future uncertain, Deaton and Forsee shared a tone of conference loyalty, pitching an even stronger case in favor of the Big 12 than Deaton and Athletic Director Mike Alden expressed during last week’s Big 12 athletic directors meetings in Kansas City. While some media outlets in Oklahoma and Texas have portrayed MU as sparking the league’s combustion by flirting with the Big Ten, Forsee pointed to MU’s long history with the conference through all its stages.

“We can’t say it any more strongly than we continue to say it: We have been loyal members of this conference alignment, going back to the Missouri Valley, the configuration of the Big Six, the Big Eight, the Big 12,” he said. “So, there shouldn’t be any question about where we have built our record, where we’ve built our legacy, where we’ve built our fans, where we’ve built everything, including the great rivalries.

“I don’t think we have to justify our loyalty. That’s been in place for 104 years.”

yep Inching closer each day....


I am ready for the Mega East! Bring it on!

So when does NU make it official?
