Missouri expected to stay in the Big 12
cbs sports

Indications are that Missouri will stay in the Big 12, a source within the league said Thursday.

Missouri chancellor Brady Deaton will speak at a 6:45 pm CT press conference in Columbia, Mo. but there is no direct knowledge of what the presser will deal with or whether a formal announcement will be made. Two newspapers reported this week that Missouri seemed to be the favorite to become the SEC's 14th team. The Kansas City Star reported Missouri had an offer on the table from the SEC. The Birmingham News reported that Missouri had "informally agreed" to join the SEC.

Deaton is the current chair of the Big 12 CEOs.

Probably the right move for them. This indicates to me that the Big 12 has assured everyone that aggressive expansion is next.
