Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 225

Mr. Laz · 02:57 PM

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.

I get why THEY would go, and I get that there are A LOT of televisions in Missouri, but athletically, there really isn't a huge appeal.

If Mizzou fans think KU fans are douchebags, wait until they meet the Ohio State fan.

Yeah, but if somehow KU squeaks into the SEC, LSU fans take the cake.

It's nice to know that we aren't the worst.

1. No way in hell KU would get into the SEC.

2. All teams have d-bag fans.

3. I've dealt with SEC fans from every team. We can all find common ground, give each other crap, and have fun with it. In fact, some of my closest friends are Tennessee grads and I have a good friend who went to LSU.
