In the world of conference expansion we now find ourselves in, one thing is for certain: nothing’s certain. That’s why when The Birmingham News reports that tentative plans are in place for Missouri’s move to the SEC, a counterbalance report is an inevitability. This time, it came from the New York TImes’ Pete Thamel:
