We're coming up on the five-year anniversary of Mizzou's move to the SEC (November 6 is the official anniversary). Over the last few weeks, I have done a good number of interviews with people who were directly involved in the process. My pitch to them was simple: "We know the basics. I want to tell the story that hasn't been told. I want to give fans a look at how the process really went down and what you were thinking as it unfolded."
Tomorrow, we will publish my complete oral history of the move from the Big 12 to the SEC. The timeline begins with the Big Ten announcement it will look at expansion on December 15, 2009 and ends with the SEC announcement on November 6, 2011. We then continued with some thoughts on what has happened in the Big 12 since Missouri's departure and asked those involved for their thoughts on the move and the process five years in hindsight.
Today, we set the scene. This sneak peek focuses on the day the decision was made:
