Mizzou has almost painted themselves into a corner by dragging this thing on

Actually the legitimate reason for it is that the Big 12 is dragging it out not Mizzou. You have to remember when a Big 12 official speaks it is filled with lies. They kept telling us that Texas A&M could be talked into staying and they weren't leaving too..

What they do is get the school officials in a room and start saying stick with us we will get Notre Dame in here and give you an annual game with them.

When that doesn't appease you they say we will set up a Big 12 network for all the teams 3rd tier rights. Which later ends up with Oklahoma's AD questioning where that idea came from and asking how it would work considering the LHN and the fact Oklahoma is setting up their own.

When you still want to leave they bring in TCU and say they're an upgrade to the conference and promise to add WVU. When that doesn't make you wanna stay they make public quotes saying how they're bringing in better teams anyway.

Then their mouthpiece comes out and says Missouri hasn't announced they're leaving yet. But they get undercut by a reporter tweeting Tuesday night that says hold up is the negotiations between the Big 12 and Missouri about exit fee and when they will be allowed to leave.

It appears they want a huge exit fee and also threatening lawsuits by universities who will be losing home games with Missouri for next year.
