As was noted on the Mr. SEC site, it really isn't taking any longer than the A&M move, it just SEEMS that way. Ironing out legal technicalities.
With some of the backhanded shots that have been taken against Mizzou from Big 12 officials like the OK A.D., for example, to the effect that that WVU is better than Mizzou in most every way, I don't see how or why Mizzou could ever stay in that dysfunctional conference at this point.
It wasn't all that long ago that OK was taking shots at UT. Add in neurotic Baylor and what a conglomeration of misfits that conference apparently is, what with all the backstabbing and threats, etc. Get out while you can Mizzou, Hurry!

We're gone. Just legal issues and formalities. WVU is replacing MU in the B12 but they may not be able to leave by next year. MU wants out for next year and so they have to work through this. Here's an article on an interview by MU chancellor Brady Deaton today. Its long, but after reading this there is no doubt Mizzou to the SEC is just a matter of time.

Deaton on MU timeline: 'days or possibly a week or two'
AND
quote:
COLUMBIA – Missouri chancellor Brady Deaton on Tuesday morning suggested he hoped to reveal Mizzou’s future conference address in “days or possibly a week or two.”
Deaton – in both an interview on Columbia radio station KFRU-AM and in conversations with newspaper reporters in the station lobby before and after the broadcast – stated Missouri’s view of whether to pursue admission to the Southeastern Conference to remain in the Big 12 Conference have coalesced around a probable choice.
“We’ve reached firmness in where we are headed,” Deaton said, “where we want to analyze and focus our attention.”
AND
quote:
Sources continue to tell The Star that Missouri is headed toward becoming the 14th member of the SEC for next season, joining Texas A&M which has already declared itself a former member of the Big 12 in acceptance of being the 13th member of the SEC.
Many people expected Deaton to announce, at a meeting of the Big 12 Board of Directors in Dallas on Monday, that Missouri was conditionally withdrawing from the Big 12 in anticipation of being accepted into the SEC.
While the Big 12, in a statement on Monday, noted conference realignment was discussed, Deaton said he left the room while those discussions were underway and abstained from voting on all matters on the advice of legal counsel.
