Big step for Mizzou's conference future could come Tuesday - KansasCity.com http://bit.ly/nhaG5y via @addthis 6 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply Quote Multiple sources have told The Star of plans that day for a University of Missouri Board of Curators meeting at which the Tigers’ position in conference realignment scenarios will be discussed. The most likely result, if a simple majority of the seven curators with voting privilege favors the move, is formal authorization of MU to explore admission to another conference. No Board of Curators members responded to interview requests made by The Star on Tuesday. But three sources closely aligned with the board or the school told The Star that the curators’ prime concern is a Big 12 exit fee of up to $40 million. “If it were just a matter of saying let’s go say goodbye Big 12 and join the SEC,” one sources told The Star, “if there was no litigation or a few dollars involved, it would be an easy choice. Nebraska was reported to have forfeited $9 million in Big 12 revenue when it left for the Big Ten before this season and Colorado roughly $7 million when it moved to what is now the Pac-12. Exit fees for Texas A&M, which will join the Southeastern Conference next year and announced Aug. 31 that it would withdraw from the Big 12 on June 30, have been estimated at $30 million.
