Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment

[Mr. Laz]

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.

BUT...

For the faithful.....


9 SECONDS. Tyrod Taylor had 9 seconds.

That doesn't upset me nearly as much as punting after having 1st and goal at the 8 yard line.

To be fair, that mascot does suck.

Maybe those ugly uniforms will get MU into the top 25, where they seldom reside, and currently don't.

LOL@Football school.

Wow you're an idiot.

That isn't NU's mascot, it's a sideshow to amuse children.

It's still better than the gayish cowboy. OSU has a cool cowboy, though.

Be fair now, I think they won a National Championship in something but it was before anyone on this board was born.

MU is not a football school, it's "whichever team finishes higher than 6th in conference" school.

At least no one will be scoring 76 points on you in the Big 10. Have fun!

Bwahahahaha! Did someone here call MU a "football school"? I don't have time to read through all this but I can't believe someone actually would say that.
