I know everyone's taking delight in saying Missouri did a lot of talking, but I don't see it. The fan base? Yes. The fan base was tired of the Big 12 and its politics, and we didn't mind letting it known. But the administration never played their cards.

But as for running their mouths, we're not even in the top half of the Big 12.
From my understanding, the governor (Mizzou alum) ran his mouth off about jumping ship, and the representatives were not hiding it, even gloating about to the other members in private conversations. The Nebraska chancellor even mention the university's arrogance during the regents meeting.
