Missouri is exploring a move to the Southeastern Conference in hopes of getting as much as $12 million each year in additional TV and cable revenue, according to a confidential document obtained by The Associated Press.

The 45-page document, which was reviewed by Missouri's governing board of curators on Oct. 4, outlines the pros and cons of leaving the Big 12 Conference for the SEC. It was obtained from a university official familiar with the discussions who is not authorized to speak publicly.

***

The report suggests Missouri could earn $17.16 million in Big 12 TV money in fiscal year 2012, compared to $19.25 million from an SEC deal.

It also envisions a far bigger "per member share potential" should a larger SEC -- with millions of more eyeballs in Texas and the Midwest -- renegotiate its top-tier TV rights -- up to $12 million more per year.

... doubtful. It's mostly because the market price for the contracts has gone up considerably with the new PAC and B1G deals. Thus, the SECs contract was already going to be worth more before the addition of new schools.
