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.. |

Not a shoe-in like MU and NU, but a pretty safe bet.

I don't remember hearing anyone say it was a shoe-in or a safe bet before KK did yesterday. I always heard it mentioned along with Pitt, Syracuse, and UConn but never as the clear primary eastern target.

It's not a clear primary target from the Big East, it's just the most likely one to go to B10 if invited.

What I'm saying is that Keitzman isn't playing it safe like you say he is. He's going out on a limb that you aren't willing to go out on with the Rutgers part of his story.

And if it ends up being Syracuse and Pitt, it's just going to be "whoops, guess my source was wrong again but at least he got the MU and NU part right." As far as throwing shit at the wall and hoping it will stick goes, this is a pretty safe instance to do it.

The ump tossed Hillman because his argument was that the Big XII will be better off replacing Missouri with Louisville.
