Missouri weighs conference move amid Big 12 exit talk
Missouri officials contemplate a move to the SEC with interim Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Nevias predicting play in 2012. If Missouri joins, it would be the SEC's 14th member, alongside Texas A&M. A study suggests potential revenue gains up to 12 million dollars yearly, aided by an enlarged TV deal and revenue sharing. West Virginia also eyed a jump from the Big East to the Big 12 amid talks of conference realignment.

West Virginia Could Join Big 12 As Era Shifts
Kansas State coach Frank Martin comments on adding West Virginia to the Big 12, a move seen as boosting quality. WVU would be the easternmost member, 870 miles from Iowa State, altering Big East to Big 12 geography and competition while WVU’s bowl record and BCS wins bolster the case. Rutgers would be the lone original Big East football member remaining without WVU.
