OK is talking BYU and West Virginia (?!?) to replace Mizzou and TX A&M. But there's apparently no confirmation of the Monday rumor. But even then, they would still be in the Big XII for the remainder of the season and perhaps for some time to come. Just look at what happened with TCU....

And no sign of UNH.

I honestly wonder if UNH actually believes the BS that he's posting with his "inside sources" or that he's trolling

I wouldn't exactly call UNH a troll. IMH, we have exactly TWO trolls on this board, and he's not one of them.

He is real close to it....the only difference is that trolls post more frequently.

Just like the Rapture - got the date wrong.

[BlueHen86]

He didn't say which Monday.

[EPJr]

Maybe UNH was right all along? This just went online with a 10/22 date... wtf.

Given the ever-changing conference paradigm over the past year, the Southeastern Conference has continued to demonstrate its commitment to maintaining its stature as one of the nation’s premier conferences by welcoming the University of Missouri as the league’s 14th member, Commissioner Mike Slive announced Monday.

Mizzou is going to the SEC. It's a done deal. I don't think it will work out well for Mizzou, but they sure as hell couldn't stay in the Big Texas, I mean Big XII Conference.

apparently, someone at the SEC accidentally posted the press release welcoming Mizzou to the SEC...

What may have happened here is the plan was to announce it Monday before it was delayed for whatever reasons (EPJr cited a legal issue) the conference had the online press release all set and probably uploaded it Saturday and then would link it to the main page of their site as soon as the announcement was made Monday, when the delayed occured it didnt occur to anyone to temporarily remove the uploaded content and someone randomly searching Missouri on the website found the content.

That's a sorry excuse... a simple embargo feature would have prevented this...
