Is the consensus that we will make an announcement middle of next week still? I'm starting to feel like MU is finally taking control of the wheel of their car, but the week delay makes me nervous. Are we going to take to the streets lighting things on fire if we wait all this time, and on Wednesday of next week come out with the flowery language about how much we love and are dedicated to the Big XII?

It sounds to me that Deaton put the Big12 on notice when he said at the press conference last week that his primary responsibility before anything is to MU. Then almost simultaneously the big12 announces publicly that the schools are requesting first and second tier rights to games while the UT's network is totally off negotiating table.
I'd be very surprised if we don't make an announcement to make a move to the SEC over the next few weeks. |

Does that make sense to anyone? Look, if MU wants to leave, more power to them. I just don't understand why I'm a fan of it. I haven't seen MU fans and their list of demands to "fix" the conference being opposed by Texas. All I see out of MU fans is a desire to get away from Texas. I can understand that, I just don't get why I'm a fan of that. |

I'm OK with going to another conference, but I'd much rather see Big 12 reform that makes staying put the better option. For example, if Texas agreed to transform the Longhorn Network into a Big12 network with all revenue shared equally (admittedly an unlikely prospect), that would be a huge incentive for Mizzou to re-commit to the Big 12 and an enormously stabilizing development, IMO. |

I agree to an extent. He had a point, just didn't convey it in a clear convincing matter. Or is this just a couple KU fans not wanting to admit that he is right, despite the poorly written article.

Why would Texas make any concessions? The conference isn't going to die if Mizzou leaves, and the rest of the schools are just happy to be here. Bevo just needs the Big 12 for another five or six years while they build the LHN.

Question for Mizzou fans:
Why in God's name do those of you that would "prefer to stay in the B12" feel that way? |

I don't think you have to know what the specific concessions are to believe that they'd be good for the little sisters of the league. It would be nice to know them, but I think it's highly unlikely that Mizzou is trying to cut a deal that only benefits Mizzou and leaves the conference just as unstable as before.

The reason I would like to see the reformed B12 end up being the better deal is that I live in Kansas City and the city benefits from being in the heart of a conference that contains all the local major schools rather than on the edge of two different conferences and also because of the traditional rivalries. |
