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.. |

Yeah, but calling you names won't do much compared to stating the fact that KU > MU in every possible way.

There's not, really. Most of the people in the small towns in both states are extremely friendly and there are a lot of farmers in both Kansas and Missouri. Missouri has more hills while Kansas is mostly flatter plains. There are nice suburbs on both sides of the KC metro area and there are also bad neighborhoods on both sides.

Enrollment (which grows even wider when figuring in all of the UM system) Football Baseball Gymnastics Wrestling ah, shit, I'll just say "all sports but basketball" and save myself some typing. Hell, I'll say myself even more typing and say "Everything else except for medical school and the architecture program"

I'm not aware of any such law, but it's of no consequence. Kansas isn't wanted. MU leaving for the Big 10 will set off a chain of events that will dissolve the Big XII and leave Kansas scrambling to join Conference USA or some other such mid-major association of misfits. Quantrill only wishes he could have wrought as much havoc in Larryville.
