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.. |

It's a complete surprise to me as well, I thought Mizzou leaving was a foregone conclusion, and NU was the longshot.

Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and Rutgers have been mentioned before. Along with Notre Dame of course. Rutgers and Syracuse get you into the New York/New Jersey market. |

Because as a pair...what they both brought to the table was a pretty interesting add. I am still going back to how interesting it has been that the University of Missouri has been so absolutely tight lipped during this process. Leaks coming out of Texas and Nebraska...all these beans got spilled. Maybe there is some factor not allowing Missouri to get the green light that is getting worked out. There are so many variables. Again, like I have said...they may have gotten the cold shoulder but...too much of this just seems odd. The way in which it has been presented. |

FFS, go with the last five years and you have a point, but it still means diddly as far as any future matchups between the two teams. You are aware that Bill Callahan isn't coaching the team anymore?

It makes you wonder if its just that Nebraska was leaked first and they couldn't contain it. And Tom was just like...you know what? **** it. I am too old for this shit. YES WE ARE GOING TO THE BIG 10 GET OFF MY ****ING LAWN.

that might be MU's chance to get back into the mix don't forget that ND might still screw Nebraska out of this in the 11th hour.

You can bet your ass that the Big 10 is going to Notre Dame again one last time and asking them if they want to be the 12th team for the Big 10. They would kick Nebraska to the curb as fast as a columbia trailer park. that might also delay conference-geddon. Notre Dame takes Nebraska's spot in the big 10 Texas sees it's gay lover Nebraska still in the Big12, so it stays ... which keeps all it's little texas whores (OU,A&M,TT,Baylor) in the Big 12 too. Pac-10 doesn't get it's Texas trophy so they keep looking. Big east doesn't lose anyone but ND so they just fill-in and move on
