Deaton says he 'won't speculate' on Big 12 realignment
Chancellor Brady Deaton said commenting on the university's possible conference realignment would only "add speculation to speculation" after leaving the Board of Curators executive session early around 5:15 p.m.
Although he refused to discuss what details of conference realignment the curators were discussing in their closed session, he did confirm the board is talking over all the options regarding MU's possible departure from the Big 12. He also said rumors that the Big 12 is all but dead are exaggerating.
"The Big 12 is certainly well," Deaton said. "We're just minus one right now."
