Oklahoma State president Burns Hargis, the new chairman of the Big 12, expressed hope Saturday that Missouri will stay in the conference. "I really think after all's said and done and everything is considered, I think they'll stay. I hope they'll stay," Hargis said. "It's a great school and great people and great rivalries. I think it would just be a real loss to the conference for them to leave." Missouri was the lone Big 12 member to abstain from the league's votes this week to invite TCU as a new member and to give the money from their top two levels of televised games to the league for the next six years.
