From geographic proximity to its membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities, Missouri in many ways is a natural fit for an expanded Big Ten. Need another reason? Try 13 million—that’s about how many extra dollars Missouri could expect to earn annually from a conference with its own television network and a revenue sharing model that distributes equal payments to all 11 members. The Big Ten insists that no decisions have been made on expansion—and no offers extended, contrary to a Kansas City radio station’s report earlier this week. But Missouri isn’t waiting idly for its prospective suitor to make up its mind. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-bigten-missouri
