from the WVU board and Twitter report

Story going up momentarily at Kansascity.com that Missouri has an offer from SEC but that SEC is willing to wait on implosion of Big 12

after WVU was declined, this was almost a certainty

WVU wasn't declined outright. They are in UConn and Rutgers mode.

Missouri accepted as #14 contingent upon the B-12 implostion. this was hinted at weeks ago. If it was WVU the offer would have been made 2 weeks ago when Slive was given permission to pursue a 14th team

Still looking like Scott oversold the PAC-16 to Big-12 ADs and the press and the fans and the B-12 Presidents and undersold it to the PAC-12 Presidents.

If the Big Ten was at all thinking of expanding (not sure if they really are), this may force their hand into action. I would think that any Big Ten expansion in their minds would include Missouri. It is now or never time.

The only team that will give them marquee National Games is Notre Dame

13 teams? Nothing wrong with that. They played with 11teams for years when people said "It will never work". After 20 years I guess those people were right :)/ They had to have Nebraska to be better :)

They're not that big a catch.
ND and Rutgers would probably be fine for Big10 in the end. They can also easily pull Maryland into the league any time they want.

I'd laugh my arse off is the B1G landed ND, Rutgers, UConn, and pulled Maryland out. of the ACC. Never happen, but funny to think about.
