True, probably don't want the poor conferences to know how much cash you have stored in the basement safe.

I'm far from convinced that it will happen. MUrphy's Law* aside, I think it will still be a few weeks. aTm took forever, and I don't know why MU would be any faster. Mizzou has nothing to gain by acting quickly. The Big XII keeps sweetening the pot, and time is on our side.

Even if the SEC and MU have a handshake agreement, it would make more sense to wait out the Big XII. The Big XII needs to replace MU, and they can't do that as long as we are lounging in the conference just minding our own business. It's very possible that Mizzou is trying to wait out the Big XII to the point where they release us from our contract or settle for a vastly reduced exit fee. Of course, it's also very possible that MU ****s this up completely.



* I think I just coined a phrase.

Unless they were trying to create leverage with the Big 12.

Maybe. Or maybe they want it known that they have done their homework and have just improved the school's bottom line by $12,000,000 per year. I really don't know how/why this was released.

For all the "Missouri will take it's time" you blathered about this AM, one would think that numbers like this would make the decision easy.

Guess not.

LMAO

Who needs leverage if you've got that stash waiting for you? F that. I'm heading south.

Unless it's horseshit. And if it's from drunky, it probably is.

Wasn't that primarily because of the threat of lawsuits?

Has MU been invited to the SEC yet? Been busy at work.

Get with the program, you don't get invited to conferences. You invite yourself and then get voted up or down.

Lawsuits and exit fees, yes. I don't see that these issues have vanished entirely.

There's still the threat of a $25 million exit penalty to address.

Also, the Big 12 is kinda busy with Ken Starr suing them for poaching TCU out of the Big East.

Settle up Southies!

I want some bball practice facility upgrades. and I want them on your dime.

Nebraska paid around $6,000,000. Now that the conference is a shell of what it was when we signed our contract, I'd guess Mizzou gets stuck for around $3,000,000. Your share would be in the $250,000 range. Don't spend it all in one place.
