To think that UMKC was operating under the radar this whole time, quietly making its way into the SEC. Those sneaky Missouri-Kansas City bastards.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

Wasn't it one of those authorizations to explore conference options with the baord retaining the power of final approval?Originally posted by Coach McGuirk View PostAlthough, now that I think about this, why would they need to meet again for anything? They met and transferred the power of greyskull to the president.
Disregard, nothing to see here, i think.

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Roller coaster! stay tuned....This news dampens some optimism for the Big East, which appeared to be gaining momentum toward reviving its football fortunes. The exits of Syracuse, Pittsburgh and T.C.U. have the league struggling for survival, and both Louisville and West Virginia are considered strong candidates, along with Brigham Young, for Big 12 expansion.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I suppose the KC and St. Louis markets make this move sensible, but from a football perspective, I can't imagine why they wouldn't pull a full-court press for FSU or Miami before settling for Mizzou. Maybe I'm just out of touch, but I find Georgia Tech to be an overall more attractive football option than Missouri.Originally posted by LiveCoug View PostJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Hello!While the interim Big 12 commissioner, Chuck Neinas, said last week that he expected Missouri to play in the league in 2012, it is possible that they could start play in the SEC as early as next year.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

This person in the KC market wants Mizzou to stay. The Big 12 championships in football and basketball are huge here and we'll take a hit economically if Mizzou leaves the Big 12...Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostI suppose the KC and St. Louis markets make this move sensible, but from a football perspective, I can't imagine why they wouldn't pull a full-court press for FSU or Miami before settling for Mizzou.

Did anyone really believe Neinas saying otherwise was anything other than posturing? I didn't, never believed it for a second.Originally posted by falafel View PostHello!Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

I'm sure the SEC could get FSU, but supposedly Florida, Georgia and South Carolina have an alliance that will vote against any second team from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Given Alabama's sensibilities regarding recruiting and conference expansion, I wouldn't be surprised if the Alabama schools were also against conference expansion in the form of a second Florida school.Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostI suppose the KC and St. Louis markets make this move sensible, but from a football perspective, I can't imagine why they wouldn't pull a full-court press for FSU or Miami before settling for Mizzou.
