It appears that Missouri is now ready to leave the Big 12.
They took another step toward leaving the Big 12 Conference yesterday.
The governing curators at Missouri unanimously gave Chancellor Brady Deaton the authority yesterday to move the school out of the Big 12 if he decides that is in the school’s best interest. Deaton, who had earlier been given the OK to explore options, gave no timeline for a decision but indicated that a move, if it happens, would not take much longer.
While Deaton avoided saying that he favors leaving the Big 12 or identifying the SEC as a potential landing spot, it was clear that the SEC is the target.
“We’ve provided information to the SEC,’’ Deaton said at a news conference following a two-day curators’ meeting, accompanied by athletic director Mike Alden and other school officials.
