Just to be clear, DeArmond is saying that there has been no formal bid offered. If you go to both of the MU fan boards where he regularly posts (PowerMizzou and Tigerboard), Mike makes it very clear that he's believes they've already informally offered a bid.
Here's a good interview from this morning of Mike's son (Gabe) that talks about the current situation and also talks about much of the build up that got us in this situation with regards to the Texas schools.
