heh, you are seriously trying to argue that Missouri hasn't been flirting with the Big Ten? What do you think happens if there are rumors that the Big 12 could invite Arizona or Iowa? What happens if there's a Florida to ACC rumor? We won't get a "we'll listen and evaluate any offer" type of answer, just a flat-out no.

Missouri is now giving out their "proud member of the Big 12" loyalty proclamations since they seem to be getting the cold shoulder, but you heard none of that when the rumors were flying.

Silence is often a loud statement. When the world was saying Mizzou to the Big 10, a lack of a response or denial is basically the same as "yeah, we're hoping it happens"
