Yeah I can't see any reason why Arkansas wouldn't want to leave the SEC for the Big 12. I wonder why no one else has thought of that.

West Virginia has the most tv sets, but half of them are non-working sets that sit beneath working ones.

Why doesn't the Big IIX just add USC, Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, Florida, and Alabama?

They asked, but since the tradition of Missouri is leaving. They all feel that its too much of a risk.

3-point shots: Mizzou tourney no lock


By Andy Katz


1. Missouri’s promise of putting on a college basketball tournament in December in Kansas City if it were to leave for the SEC won’t be such an easy outcome. Team-oriented invitational tournaments are dying in the sport. Few power-six schools play in these non-exempt two-game tournaments anymore. According to a tournament organizer, Missouri’s best option would be to play a semi-neutral series at the Sprint Center, like facing Gonzaga in year one and then playing the Zags in Seattle in year two. Play Connecticut in Boston in year one and UConn in KC in year two. Most non-elite tournaments have shut down because of the difficulty of scheduling these games.

2. The Big 12 tournament is in Kansas City in 2012, 2013 and 2014, rounding out the five-year run at the Sprint Center that began with the 2010 tournament. But any fear that attendance could drop significantly without Mizzou in possibly 2013 and 2014 shouldn’t be an issue for the league. Kansas City is a Kansas and Kansas State city first, as evidenced by the crowd at the championship game in 2010. I was there. I saw. The atmosphere was terrific for the two Kansas schools. Losing Mizzou takes away one of the local schools, but if other schools like Iowa State or Oklahoma State – two conference schools in hoops that have the potential to draw well – continue on an upward trajectory, the loss of Mizzou can be muted. And as long as Kansas and Kansas State are playing well, attendance won’t be an issue. If this tourney was in St. Louis, that could be a different matter. But it’s not.

Yeah. We hate it in the SEC. :spock:

ROFL

It doesn't matter how stupid the Big Leftover fans statements are, they just keep firing. Its like the bad guy who bounces 6 bullets off Superman's chest and then throws the empty gun at him.

Its not working guys, but keep throwing your guns.

Its not the Big leftover conference Muron...

Its the Titanic 12 lead by Iraqs Defense Minister..

Not really coming from a fan that talks down on a conference in which his team did absolutely nothing worth noting.

Seriously though, they'll be a dominate team in the SEC....I swear. The last 5 minus this year prove it.

Its great how the conference screws MU out of a BCS game and then says "who cares if MU leaves, they couldn't even make a BCS game". Deuces, bitch. Enjoy the leftovers.

This thread makes baby Jesus cry. :facepalm:

For every snippet of actual news, 100 posts of oneupsmanship douchbaggery. Even I can't ****ing stand it any more.

I'd start an new one, but what would be the point?

Its frustrating to say the least.
