Mizzou and the Big Ten

So I feel like this board has been pretty slow with topics relavent to actual Michigan subjects (which is a given, seeing as how it's the offseason for Football and BBall). 

I work in St. Louis and today people all over the office have been talking about Mizzou joining the Big Ten. 

Apparently word slipped from the local Columbia, MO news station that Mizzou's board was in the process of putting an offer together to join the conference and it would be announced "within a couple of days".  Other ideas were mentioned about what other Big 12 teams would jump ship / who would fill their roles, but that doesn't matter to us. 

How solid are my sources?  I have no freaking idea.  I just thought it was worth mentioning since I doubt there are many other Missouri-based Wolverines in the loop.
