Missouri presser

Here we go...

The emptiness in the room is symbolic that they have left the B12 and gone to the SEC.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I'm going to operate under the assumption that Mizzou staying in the BigXII will be a win for UConn/Big East.

I think it's much more likely the BigXII invites BYU then Louisville to get to 10, rather than the SEC inviting West Virginia to get to 14.

Who knows though?

 

[junglehusky]

and my stream is breaking up

 

[Revrat]

Stupid stream broke

 

[WestHartHusk]

damn it!

 

[RS9999X]

Permission to negotiate any and all ......

 

[CAHUSKY]

Stupid stream broke

Mine too. Just as he was announcing what they were doing. Sounds like they gave him the power to seek a new conference.

 

[ctchamps]

It's blacked out for BE fans.

 

[RS9999X]

Now is the time to explore all of our options before we lock into our commitment with the Big 12.

 

[CAHUSKY]

It's blacked out for BE fans.

According to chip brown the big12 wanted long term irrevocable committment and Mizzou said they would rather persue other options. Not sure what that means exactly.

KOMU 8:​

If you can't see the stream - The Board of Curators are speaking - A unanimous action was taken by the curators: The board of curators delegates the authority to Chancellor Deaton to take any and all actions to explore options for conference affiliation that are "best for the university."

 

[MattMang23]

It means they're SEC bound. Curators can't announce it. They have to leave it up to the chancellor.

 

[Danzz]

damn it!

Mine also broke all I got was something to the effect that...........". the board has autorized any and all action...." and then nothing.

 

[alexrgct]

"MU exploring all options before committing to the Big 12-2-1"

I can't watch either, but just read this post on another board.

What a non-event if that's all they have to say.

Yawn. No need for this presser

 

[ctchamps]

Taking the Sue Herbst approach.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Looks like they are history. Worst case scenario for UConn. Here we come, CAA.

 

[Danzz]

It means they're SEC bound. Curators can't announce it. They have to leave it up to the chancellor.

It means nothing except that they want the flexibility to leave the Big 12 if it is in their interest and they had to start a half hour late to announce it.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Taking the Sue Herbst approach.

Difference is they have options, Herbst just has hopes and dreams.

 

[RS9999X]

The long term commitment and two years of chaos gives Missouri some legal options
