thought after the last round of expansions, there were airtight memberships that cost millions for the programs to leave.
Any SEC school can leave w/out penalty...we're not big babies like the ACC
The OP is obviously FOS.Financially it makes zero sense.The new SEC TV deal is gonna bring in close to $60 million+ to the school and IF they were invited to the BIG they wouldn't be fully vested for at least 5 years...which means a smaller cut of the conference revenue pie.

Actually he is correct. Though the SEC has no exit fee, the expansion and new contract includes the STL and KC markets. ESPN is entitled to money from Mizzou if those markets are not made available. A&M would face the same thing. The SEC payout is a projected percentage of ad revenue within the SEC footprint. If Mizzou reduces that footprint by 2 media markets, ESPN is gonna want compensation.
