        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.”

          Although, 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.

            Wasn't it one of those authorizations to explore conference options with the baord retaining the power of final approval?

                • 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.
                  Roller coaster! stay tuned....

Maybe I'm just out of touch, but I find Georgia Tech to be an overall more attractive football option than Missouri.

                    • 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.

                        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...

                            I'm interested in whether SU believed it.

                                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.
                                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.”
