- Chiefs President Mark Donovan confirmed, “Both options are in play” and stressed, “We need direction by summer,” highlighting the urgency before the June 30 Kansas offer expires.
- The special session's outcome will shape whether Missouri retains its teams amid intense political debate and competing priorities like disaster relief, with risks of teams relocating across state lines.
