The Big12 just might be making a stand, to prevent further erosion, I get that.

But the damage to the big picture, just might not be worth it.

I thought I read the SEC doesn't even have the exit penalties, correct? Why accentuate those differences publicly?

Adding to thew funny scene of all these conferences are waiting for schools to apply while the Big 12 invites TCU.

Screw the penalty, fight it in court, and even if I lose, I rely on increased alumni donations and/or bigger SEC payments to tide me over, and even if that doesn't happen, I just eat the penalty rather than allow the public to perceive that MU is meekly crawling back under the cloud of a monetary threat by the Big 12.

**** that. If Mizzou's holding the nuts (an SEC invite), why would we muck our cards? Neinas is hanging himself, and we need to sit back and let him die.

I either missed, or totally forgot UT and OU putting themselves out there last year. I thought it was just Nebraska and CU, followed by the MU thing.

The SEC builds gates around the community. The Big XII builds prison walls. Where would you rather live?

I hear ya. That being said though, I am kind of excited about TCU and what they bring to the table.

There were plenty of rumors about a Pac 16 last year.

A lot of information in this thread has been very informative, and my view of the whole subject has pretty much changed.
Some has not.
At first, like a lot of other fans of the Kansas teams, I was just worried what would happen to them.
Not any more.

1) If Mizzou can go to the SEC, they should just get gone and go, bye, and good luck. It was a nice ride, see ya.
2) The Big 12 needs to do damage control, and get the rotten apples out of the barrel now.
3) Whether Mizzou has a landing spot or not, they should be evicted, exit fees or not. It will NEVER be the same, NEVER.

That is how I had it down, with the OU and UT happening this year.

The league will be worthless if you kick out TX and OU.

I don't think Mizzou ought to react emotionally like that. There's apparently no reason for them to rush a decision, or alternatively, since I think a decision has probably already been made, to rush an announcement.

Laugh all you want. Its one thing for rival fans to flip Missouri shit over this speculation. Its another thing for the conference to publicly threaten one of its members when said member has done nothing out of bounds. The conference should be protecting its members, not throwing one to the wolves.

Unless and until Missouri withdraws from the conference, they are a member in good standing and should be treated as such. Keep it up, though. We're preparing for a divorce, and Neinas is leaving threatening voicemails. When the court date comes, the judge is going to get to hear those messages, and I'm sure he will be impressed.

You can't have it both ways. You can't play the "Missouri can wait as long as the Big 12 does so that it doesn't have to pay exit fees" card & then turn around and play the "Why won't the Big 12 just kick us out - they are being mean" card.
