I believe that the conference is attempting to do this, but Mizzou won't sign on. Unless Mizzou agrees to change the contract, they aren't bound by anything beyond the original agreement.
The longer this plays out, the stronger Mizzou's hand gets regarding exit fees. Neinas shits his britches every time he opens his denture-laden mouth, and it plays right into Mizzou's hands when he does.
The more he tries to push Missouri to sign a new contract or get out the door, the easier it is for Missouri to say that the conference violated the contract. After all, despite all the speculation, Mizzou has not left the conference, nor have they applied to join any other conference.
