Also Sunday, Chuck Neinas, interim Big 12 commissioner, said his conference has "received inquiries from a number of institutions," but no decision regarding expansion has been made. Neinas, who replaced departing commissioner Dan Beebe last week, said those inquires would be referred to the conference's expansion committee. He declined to identify those institutions. The conference has not been notified of any final decision by Missouri officials, Neinas said, regarding a possible departure to the Southeastern Conference. Neinas has said he is confident Missouri will remain with the Big 12. He said that a meeting of Missouri's governing panel, the Board of Curators, should be held soon. "We may find out something then," he said. The Kansas City Star reported the meeting could be as early as Tuesday
