Isn't is possible that a school going from one conference to another is a complicated process that doesn't happen overnight.
The SEC needs to decide what they want their conference to look like with 14 teams. Will there be divisions? What division will Missouri be in? It sounds like Alabama is holding things up because they won't want Missouri in a Western division and Auburn in the easier East.
On their end, Missouri needs to negotiate things like their exit fees.

Conferences don't give invitations, so there really is nothing to discuss in that regard. Mizzou will apply to the SEC, or they will stay with the Big XII. There will be no invitation. The division alignment has to be worked out, as does the exit fee situation.
The exit fees don't worry me, as there is precedent already established from Nebraska and Colorado's departure. It could easily be argued that there should be little to no exit fees required because the conference no longer exists in the manner it did when we signed our contract.
