Tuesday PM Galactic Conference Realignment Update Adds Mizzou

((HT: al.com))

There seems to be a tentative offer to Missouri to be added to the Ess-E-Cee and, maybe in the process, move Auburn to the Ess-E-Cee East...

And all that is contingent on Texas A&M being allowed to join- exhibiting patience while waiting out the larger players in the Big 12/10 to make up their own minds...

The only hook in all of this is Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton is the chairman of the Big 12/10 Board of Directors and has said he is working to keep the Big 12/10 together. He told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch last week that he can serve as chair and work in Missouri's best interests.

Mike DeArmond of the KCStar elaborates:

On Tuesday morning, the same MU booster who told The Star, “I’ve been told there is an (SEC) offer on the table,” said the SEC made an overture to Missouri last year.

“After the Big Ten thing started falling apart,” the source said of the summer of 2010, “they wanted to talk to us. We didn’t talk to them.”


NBCActionNews Jack Harry states the obvious...
From the Mizzou point of view...


The Ess-E-Cee is denying anything Missouri-related and is only reinforcing the overtures to Texas A&M...

For now...
