Missouri chancellor won’t commit to Big 12
Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 2:47 pm
The head of the University of Missouri is giving no assurances that the Tigers intend to remain in the Big 12.
Chancellor Brady Deaton said Missouri remained a proud member of the Big 12, but “we’re going to do what’s best for our institution.”
“We’re not shutting our ears to anything,” Deaton said as he walked into a meeting of Big 12 presidents. “I’m sure every school here has a responsibility to its own institution as primary responsibility. Conference realignment is something we do for our athletic programs. That’s what we’re working on right now.”
Big 12 commissioner Don Beebe has repeatedly said he wants to know which Big 12 member schools are committed to remaining the league. So far, that’s been a difficult task.
