Its fine to talk bluntly behind the scenes, but when you do it publicly in front of the media, you don't give Mizzou any way to save face if they stay. That might sound like stupid prideful garbage, but if its close to a 50/50 decision, which this would be only at best, then public financial threats would be my tiebreaker.

I disagree. I would have no problem if he said he did not believe that Kansas would leave the conference due to the steep exit fees.
Just like Kansas, no one in position to do so at MU has claimed that MU is contemplating leaving.
