2010 - The rest of the conference finds out about the secret meeting with the PAC 10. Missouri courts the Big Ten.
Your timing is off. B1G was in expansion discussion behind the scenes from at least 2007. The Blair Report got leaked to the public in 2009 and Missouri's name was on it. You have to figure if it took that long to leak, then Missouri was already in the discussion play a year before that. Problem is they got played by the B1G as the leak of the Blair Report was the cover to allow the real invite and move to be made on Nebraska.

No the problem was when OU made their now famous "wallflower" speech and showed their cards, after claiming fealty to the bev12-4+2, they were lifting their skirt all over the place.
Mizzou never made the rules that saw CU, NU and Aggie leave before them, no matter how many idiots like you want to paint it like we did.

Not exactly, cheese grits. The sticking point for Mizzou was the "junior membership" thing. We were very close to that move - close enough that the coaches had been told they would be coaching in that conference the next season. But Nebraska was willing to phase their conference money in over several years and Mizzou was not. Thus Nebraska got that bid.
