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 could be being mislead by the fact that they went from first to worst in only two years or that they lost 7 conference games in a row and the coach was being replaced at midseason.... but I do not think any objective observer sees this program as on the rise. They see a team that was well coached for the first time in a long while and found a good QB, and the schedule and momentum all created a perfect storm. We will see what Gil can do, but really. That is not a program on the rise right now. Posted via Mobile Device |

The only major university, I would have to think, that might have a chance of making more money in basketball than football might be Duke. But that's damn near an entirely different animal b/c this is more akin to an Ivy League school. |

Oh for FFS. We have discussed about the Turner Gil hiring.
Last year's Buffalo team was pretty young team. Also, his first year in Buffalo was 2-10. After that, it was 5-7. Then it was 8-6. Sometimes W-L's can be a little skewed with the first year, when he didn't have much to work on. But he has shown some improvement. It also helps KU to have a former Big XII guy who has some experience in the conference. I should also point out that Gill served as position coach for two first team All-Americans, Tommie Frazier and Eric Crouch, with Crouch also earning the Heisman Trophy under Gill's tutelage. The Cornhuskers earned three national championships in Gill's time as an assistant there. It also helps that he has strong ties in Texas.

The fact that this number is so close for a school as dominant in basketball and absolutely pathetic in football (maybe 2 wins a year) should tell everyone something about the power of football.

When/If Missouri & Nebraska leave the conference, can those of you who are colossal douchebags, go elsewhere too?

It means the guy that thinks he's going to become an internet millionaire by selling "Big16.tv" thinks you're an asshole.
I'm pretty broken up about it.

I was more remarking on the nonsense that is asking Mizzou & Nebraska fans to leave a Chiefs message board because their colleges are changing conferences. |

I'm upset that I didn't try it long ago.
