OU may stay here this year but when the PAC 12 comes calling again, at that time they will pack up and go.

To hell with this soap opera we see every year. Let's get out while we still have some sense of our dignity and a decent conference wants us. Otherwise we'll join the rest of what will be left of the Big 12 next year looking for a MWC/MAC or Big Least merger.
MU would be a solid addition to any conference. Solid all-around athletics, academically sound and two TV markets.
I don't understand why some MU fans (not singling you out) seem worried about not getting a seat at a good table.

That' OK vailpass...I'm fine with being singled out. I stepped out and put this here.

My biggest concern is Brady Deaton...here's a guy who could be handed a note with the winning numbers for tomorrow's Powerball and still manage to not win it.

And if he can't mess it up, then our old buddy Mike will.

Sounds like we'd be in the SEC West.

Tentative plan for Mizzou to join SEC, Auburn would move to East, sources say

Mizzou logo 9-20-11.jpeg

The Southeastern Conference and the University of Missouri have informally agreed that, barring new developments, the school will join the league and that Auburn University will move to the SEC East Division, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

A majority of presidents has endorsed the informal agreement, the sources said.

The league already plans to add Texas A&M as its 13th member, provided potential legal challenges from some remaining Big 12 members disappear. Missouri, also a member of the Big 12, would be the 14th member of the SEC.

Because both of those schools are located to the western side of the SEC's basic footprint, that prompted discussions of moving a current West Division school to the East Division. Auburn is the easternmost school in the West Division. A third person familiar with the discussions confirmed that Auburn would move to the East if Missouri joins the league.

A timetable for when Missouri would join the SEC, if the informal agreement becomes official, was not immediately known.

On Monday, the boards of regents of two big-name Big 12 schools, Texas and Oklahoma, authorized their presidents to explore new conferences. Oklahoma's president said it is considering the Pac-12, as might Texas. The presidents of both schools have said remaining in the Big 12 remains an option.

"Saving" the Big 12 is a complete waste of energy at this point unless TX is going to become a "regular" member, which they will never support. Therefore, putting a Band-Aid on this whole thing seems like an incredible exercise in futility.

Everyone who can get the hell out should.

Don't sell yourself short Judge Schmaels; you're a tremendous slouch. :D
Mizzou will be fine.

Mizzou to the SEC East makes way more sense than it does to the SEC West. Missouri borders two East states vs one West state. Plus, Auburn moving East would really affect schedules. SEC teams get exactly one cross-division game added to their permanent schedule. Alabama's permanent rival is Tennessee. If Auburn moves East then it means that Alabama would have to choose either TN or AU.

Putting Mizzou in the east preserves historic rivalries. It also allows Mizzou to add A&M as their cross-division rival game, helping to preserve Mizzou's Texas recruiting pipeline.

Auburn wants to go East. After the Tide, they would rather play Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee.

I agree that Mizzou to the East definitely makes sense (I think I might have proof that I was the first person to ever type this idea on the interwebz), but we might actually prefer to play in the West though so we can build rivalries with Arkansas, A&M, and Ole Miss.

When the Big 12 expanded, it killed the Nubs-OU rivalry. If only one annual SEC rivalry gets impacted by expansion, I'd consider that a success.

Auburn can suck a dick.

I'd fully support Mizzou beating the piss out of Gene Chizek on an annual basis.
