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.. |

I don't know about Frazod, but I am upset that the Big 12 doesn't slot bowl games by conference record. The ****ing GATOR BOWL is an excellent example of a superior team getting screwed because our conference sucks.

Look at all the butt****ery we've been victims of over the years. The five down game. The kicked ball game. It takes years, but we finally get good, and then every year a less deserving team THAT WE ****ING BEAT gets a better bowl than us while Beebe does nothing but suck off Texas.

Well the post of yours I originally quoted made it sound like Nebraska was continually getting games they didn't deserve, and when I questioned that you guys named one. That's hardly a trend. And the reason NU got the bid is because their fans travel well, you guys don't really have anyone to blame but yourselves for that.

Heh, is everyone ready for some serious conference musical chairs? Because if this actually goes down its going to be a feeding frenzy. For speculation purposes don't forget that the Pac-10 is only going to add pairs of school that are geographically close together. And they have to all approve adding a school so pretty much forget BYU. Also its not like the bowl slotting isn't screwed up in other conferences, ask Oregon State how they felt about going from playing Oregon for the Rose Bowl to playing in the Las Vegas Bowl.

You don't think the more prestigious programs in the conference benefit from the way the Big 12 allows bowl games to be doled out? Really?

I don't blame Nebraska. I blame the cocksucking Texas sycophants that run this disgrace of a conference. And that's why we're leaving.

I am saying there is NO ****ING PATTERN OF NEBRASKA BENEFITING. I can post this another 30 times, but I don't think it would sink in.

Depends on how you define success. If it's only by tourney, undoubtedly - as far as repeat successes go (repeat FFs vs Championship & early exits). If it's not, KU has a clear edge.
