Yeah, it looks like Missouri is hell bent on getting out of the Big 12 ... and nobody here is trying to stop them. They supposedly had an agreement to join the SEC, but now the SEC is denying it. I think they will only take Missouri if they can get another team to keep an even number in the conference.

Texas A&M is leaving next year and the Big 12 is still trying to lure BYU or Louisville.

I think te Big XII next year will be + TCU anD BYU and - Mizzou and TA&M.

I haven't heard Louisville or BYU in potential moves.

Geographically it makes. For basketball reasons, I want TCU as far from the Big East as possible.

Then you haven't been listening. j/k. They pay a lot more attention to it here in Kansas.

BYU was the favorite to move before TCU made the switch. Now it looks like Missouri has the support of the SEC and Louisville is more likely to move to the Big XII.

Quote:

BYU's chances of joining the Big 12 have dropped.

"While BYU was thought to be ahead of TCU on the list of potential candidates, the Cougars' chances have reportedly dropped the past few days," Sittler wrote. "There is some rigidity at BYU in terms of what they will and won't do," said a source of the school, which doesn't play games on Sunday. "Some of it has to do with church rules, and also the way they engage with media partners."

"While BYU remains a possibility, sources said Louisville would likely be next in line either if Mizzou leaves or the conference expands back to 12 members," Sittler wrote.

This morning, the internet is buzzing with news that Missouri has the votes from SEC members to make the switch, and some are saying the announcement could come as soon as today. That's good news for BYU followers who want to see BYU in the Big 12 because, if for no other reason, its an opening.

It sucks to be the Big XII right now, but it sucks even more to be the Big East!
