Posted: Oct 17, 2011 9:22 PM CDT
COLUMBIA, MO (New York Times) - The University of Missouri is heading down a path to join the Southeastern Conference, said a university official with direct knowledge of the situation.
The person said that Missouri's decision to apply for membership to the SEC was "inevitable and imminent," although a specific timeframe has yet to be set. Missouri's Board of Curators will meet on Thursday and Friday at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where the process of withdrawing from the Big 12 and applying to the SEC is expected to begin. Expansion is not listed on the agenda, but there is a private session scheduled Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.
After it applies, the person said that Missouri expected "no problems" with gathering enough votes among SEC presidents for it to become a member.
