He's referencing exit fees because MU is contemplating leaving. It doesn't mean you're not members in good standing and it's not throwing you out to the wolves.

It's not like MU has been sitting there saying "We are members of the Big 12 and are looking forward to the expansion of the conference." |

Well this is interesting....
http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2011/10/big_east_continues_to_explore.html "Rutgers’ Board of Governors is expected to give athletic director Tim Pernetti the authority to pursue conference options during a regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday." |

Maybe the dominoes aren't stopping with Mizzou.
Is the ACC ready to go up to 16? Is Big Ten thinking about a move? Rutgers could get the excitement going again. |

If you're considering joining a gym, and when you walk into the business office, 25% of the membership has just left for better gyms, and another is yelling about getting screwed because the gym won't let them cancel their membership even though the place is falling apart, are you joining that gym?

It's not like B12 is planning on plucking B10 members. I don't think they're too worried about their "image" at this point.

Who says we're contemplating leaving? Nobody who is authorized to make that decision has said that. At worst, that should be between the Big XII and Mizzou. Neinas shouldn't be airing dirty laundry when Mizzou has said nothing other than "we are proud members of the Big XII".

Do you think Neinas is stepping out of line by claiming a school would probably not leave the conference due to steep exit fees?

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.

Just like Kansas, no one in position to do so at MU has claimed that MU is contemplating leaving.

As far as I'm concerned it's just meaningless noise. He has to respond to inquiries from the media and I would expect someone in his position to play the role of someone who couldn't possibly see Mizzou deciding to leave the conference even if he actually knows they're already gone. (I'm not saying that I know they're gone, I'm just saying they might be and he might already know it).
