If this rumor is true, they have an offer they cant act on until other dominoes fall, explaining a lot of the confusion i had over some usually pretty trustworthy people saying Mizzou had an offer. Again, its just another rumor, but it would potentially answer some of the questions I had with earlier rumors.

It's a way to protect their ass. If UT turns down the Big 10 it's because they can take all their friends to the Pac 10. If ND turns down the Big 10 its because they have a cush deal as an independent and it was a long shot. If that happened then they can say "well, Missouri and A&M never really had offers, that is just not true". Instead they had a promise that should one of/both schools accept their invites, they would be the top choices to fill in.
