And clearly the SEC is out of the loop too since the date on their Mizzou to SEC story was old. Dumbasses, amirite?

I guess 3 separate sources can be wrong on the exact date of the announcement when saying it will be tomorrow, but they can't be wrong on the rest of it from 3 months ago....

On Friday afternoon, Missouri officials announced that Chancellor Brady Deaton had been authorized to make decisions regarding the University's conference affiliation.
Multiple sources have told PowerMizzou.com the first major decision from Deaton should come in the next 24 hours.
Three separate sources have told PowerMizzou.com Deaton is expected to inform the Big 12 Conference that Missouri will conditionally withdraw from the league on Monday.
There is a Big 12 Board of Directors meeting scheduled for Monday in Dallas. On Sunday, the
Kansas City Star reported that
Deaton would attend the meeting.
Again, sources have told PowerMizzou.com the expectation is that Missouri will withdraw from the Big 12 at that time, pending acceptance into another conference.
While nothing official has happened, it is widely speculated and believed that the Tigers will become, upon their withdrawal from the Big 12, the 14th member of the Southeastern Conference. No exact timetable for that acceptance is known, though most believe it will happen by the end of the week.
Multiple sources have indicated that Missouri is likely to be placed in the Eastern Division of the SEC.
PowerMizzou.com will continue to follow this story to its conclusion.[/quote]
