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 figured that's what they were going to get...I accepted that penalty was coming about a month ago, it is what it is.

Sounds like the Trojans' 04 season will be wiped out too, making them the best zero-peat dynasty of all time.
Does that mean OU can claim a NC? |

When you consider the athletic department income for most of these schools is way above 50-60 million total from all sources, What is 2 or 3 million, really? I think that issue is just an irritation to Nebraska, its not why they are apparently leaving. It's simply because the Big 10 is rich right now, and the Big 12 is locked into a lousy contract through 2015 or whenever it expires. Sure the Big 12 might eventually get a lot closer, but thats a long time to wait and they probably are also concerned that if they let this opportunity close and the Big 12 falls apart in a couple years for some other reason, they are screwed.

Whoa if these reported sanctions are true this is ****ed up, it says loss of 20+ scholarships...
Looks to me like the NCAA is going over the top to appease people who wanted SC to be punished. Expect a serious appeal on this and some of it to be overturned in court if true because some of this is WAY over the top. |

It is like my signature, it has no point except I think its funny. A lot of people dress up their signature and avatar to mean something profound or unique to them. My signature and avatar mean nothing to me, other than just something to amuse myself.

By the by, Memphis + Louisville + Cincinnati are available and bring awesome basketball, top 50 markets, and improving football programs. Just, you know. Just saying.
Colorado, Nebraska, and Mizzou bolting was kind of my dream scenario, but if the even crazier stuff happens this might be too enormous a shakeup to really end up benefiting Memphis much at this point.
