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.. |

There's enough smoke here to black out the Sun, IMO. Really good deal for MU, not going to lie.

Also, Keitzman says Mizzou and Mike Alden specifically have clammed up and won't comment on the issue at all anymore. When something big is about to go down, that's when things get quiet. (Can't go blabbing to the media before it's official.)

You know who is pissed off about the move? The Kansas City Star. They'll have to have reporters that know the ins & outs of the Big Ten now and they'll have to be there for Big Ten media days and produce special sections for Big Ten football and basketball and make All-Big Ten teams, etc. in addition to all that they already do for the Big 12.

For me personally, it's not like I'd instantly not give a damn what happened with the rest of the Big 12. Hell, I'd probably start rooting for KSU a lot more. |

Mizzou vs. KU is an event on it's own. Carries it's own weight. That won't change. Esp, in KC, and on this site. |
