Basically, last year was the last good year for Mizzou football ever.

I'm not so sure this is going to happen. Mizzou got antsy, with all the talk of other members fleeing. Today the Pac 12 closed the door on Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, etc, by announcing it will not expand. I think that sends the Big XII back to the negotiating table in an attempt to work out a deal that saves the conference.

Here is how I think it is going to work out:

 

Mizzou ----> SEC

Oklahoma ----> PAC 12

Texas ----> Big Ten/Independence

Texas A&M ----> PAC 12

Oklahoma St. ----> ACC

Texas Tech ----> A minor conference

 

This won't happen for a year or two, though.

I'd say A&M is a firm lock for the SEC, considering they've already joined it. Also, Oklahoma and Oklahoma state are committed to being in the same conference.

SEC denying the hell outta this.

I don't think so, yet.

 

SEC prefers to bring in two at a time to keep the divisions even. The priority for them is a team in the East, then maybe another 2. But I just don't see Mizzou jumping ship, especially with the Big12 looking like it has a second (or is it third?) breath?

My bad. I forgot.
