The Big 9½

It’s official: TCU is joining the Big 12. The first actual realignment news! With something that makes geographic sense! A&M won’t be able to gig ’em, though.

It’s not official: Missouri thinks it can get big money and no whammies in the SEC. (Aside from football never sniffing the top half of a conference again.) I don’t know whether this study took into account the actual income from a new Big 12 contract vs. potential income from an SEC contract that isn’t up for renegotiation until 2025.

It’s very not official: The SEC presidents made no move Monday toward expansion. Missouri could drag this out for a long time.

Meanwhile, the Big East is getting desperate and going after Central Florida.

PS: San Diego State? Huh?
