What is it with the Big 12 Conference?

Only in the Big 12 Conference do you have teams wanting to leave and then delay the process. Other conferences have teams actually leave in a relatively short time and life goes on. But then there is the Big 12.

The process drags on and on. First it was Texas A&M and now it’s Missouri’s turn. What are the Tigers thinking anyway?

They had the perfect opportunity yesterday at a Big 12 Conference meeting. All Missouri had to say is “Fellas we are leaving the conference. Thanks for your time.” But no, Missouri remained silent. It even voted on a potential Big 12 TV network. Wow.

Missouri claims there is a lengthy process to leave the Big 12 and join the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers say they want to be deliberate. Go ahead boys, step out on the water and make your move. The Big 12 knows you want a divorce. So go sign the papers.

Someone should write a book or teach a class on conference realignment. They have a perfect example on what not to do. It’s called the Big 12 Conference.
