As college football expansion turns, reports indicate that Missouri, long-rumored as a possible SEC addition, could in fact become the league's 14th team. 

West Virginia had been rumored as an SEC addition as well, but it looks like the Mountaineers will have a hard time getting out of the Big East. This CBS report says they've been turned down by both the SEC and the ACC.

Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott threw a wrench in expansion plans by announcing Tuesday that his league would remain at 12 teams.

Here's a statement from Oklahoma president David Boren.
