"We're a young league that hasn't matured fully."

Wow. Just ****ing wow.

He didn't have the power to do shit.

Mizzou and other schools entered into a conference where Texas got to wear the daddy pants.

We put ourselves in that situation...come what may...

So with Colorado and Nebraska leaving... the conference just earned $30 million dollars!!! $3 for each school, or does Texas take it all by default? lol

Well have fun, there is nothing Missouri fans are better at than being victims. It gets so old.

Then rename it the Big Texas Conference and quit the ****ing charade. This is a ****ing embarrassment.

Well, they actually named it the Big 12.

Mizzou didn't enter into all this bullshit non consensually.

Shit isn't over yet though, it will be interesting to see how things finally shake out.

When did this become about Obama?

So Mizzou will not be going to the big 10, which is crazy considering all the rumors seemed to have starte with us and ended with nebraska, ****

So everyone for themselves now huh

nebraska ****ed ya

they heard all the rumors about MU/Big 10 and snuck in the backdoor and took your spot.

Well lets hope our teams get on somewhere solid, not sure what to think anymore

A Letter From Mike Alden


Dear Tiger Nation,

By now I'm sure you have learned of the departure of the University of Colorado and the University of Nebraska from the Big 12 Conference. There is no question that these moves are very impactful on our league. These are decisions by individual institutions following invitations and applications with the Pac-10 and the Big 10 Conferences. We've enjoyed longstanding relationships with both schools, and wish them nothing but the best in their future homes.

We are working diligently to maintain the long-term viability of the Big 12 Conference. Our focus has always been on our core values, and it will continue to remain as such. We have been open, honest, accessible and professional throughout these shifting landscapes. We will always handle ourselves in a professional manner. We are a first-class institution and a first-class athletic program.

We certainly understand the angst that this recent news has caused among our supporters. Please be confident that we are working tirelessly for the benefit of the University, for the Tigers and for the state of Missouri. When "the dust settles," Mizzou will be in a strong position nationally. We don't know the timeline of all of these activities, so your patience and commitment is appreciated. Many will look at this time as a challenge, but we will look at it as an unbelievable opportunity.

Thank you for your dedication to Mizzou. We will keep you informed of developments whenever we're able.

Maybe it's just me, but Tom Osborne comes across as a gracious and humble man.

I don't understand how my Nebraska, one of the corner stones of the big 8 and big 12 is going to leave and go to big 10 country! 11:27 AM Jun 10th via Twitterrific
