Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment
A source in St. Louis familiar with the situation told NewsCenter 16 Thursday afternoon that Missouri will leave the Big XII and soon join the Big 10. Other schools expected to follow the Tigers are Syracuse, Pitt, Rutgers and Nebraska.
Many have speculated that such an expansion would include Notre Dame but ND athletic director Jack Swarbrick told me today that the Irish prefer to stay independent in football and in the Big East for other sports. Swarbrick said maintaining football Independence is such a part of what Notre Dame is. He went on to say the Big East is a great partner for the University in other sports. "We do have to monitor what is going on," Swarbrick said. "There will be significant shifts. "Hopefully we can navigate them by keeping our football independent and keeping our Big East affiliation because that is what we care about." The move of Syracuse, Pitt and Rutgers to the Big Ten from the Big East could categorically change the landscape of the Big East itself. Thus, what Swarbrick is referring to when stating the University must continue to monitor what is going on. The interview with Swarbrick was done before the late afternoon announcement. http://www.wndu.com/sports/headlines/92447574.html Last edited by Mr. Laz; 06-10-2010 at 02:57 PM.. |

Maybe. I still think the Big 12 is quite viable though; too bad Mizzou and Nebraska seem to think otherwise.

I hope the Big 12 commissioner gets a cactus shoved up his ass. Stupid do-nothing asshole.

The Big 12 is definately up to snuff when it comes to being competitive on the field. The Big 10 just has a much better TV deal, along with larger schools which equals a larger alumni base. I would put the Big 12's sports resume against the Big 10's any day. |

And really Mizzou has not forgotten about being screwed out of a BCS Bowl game by a team it beat, a better bowl game by a team in beat by 5 TDs the same year with Nebraska, and a 6-6 Iowa St. team last year because of the way the Big 12 is structured. Bolded part the most important though. |

College football may look very weird in a couple years. You have to wonder if the SEC would make a move to go get Texas/A&M/Oklahoma/Oklahoma State and create a football mega-conference.

It would be so interesting to read the real story of how this has unfolded behind the scenes. So many players...so many variables. Crazy shit.
