Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 264

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.

Not sure I understand your question, but KU does dominate the state of Kansas. That's why they will get in anywhere over ISU and KSU.

Want to bet?

If anything, there will be one 16 team conference, and I don't even feel 100% comfortable saying that.

I think that there are a whole lot of smoke and mirrors right now.

What makes more sense?

Scenario 1: All the big boys get together and try to crowd out the little guys and keep all the money for themselves.

Scenario 2: All the big boys decide that there is plenty of money to go around and decide to give more automatic bids.

Frazod has been ****ing HILARIOUS in this thread. I've spit water at least 3 times as shit he has said.

This thread is gold and you have Frazod to thank.

Scenario 1, definitely.

I'm on the outside looking in. I think that this is such a big deal here especially because its pretty much affecting 99% of this boards user base, since most people here are fans of Big 12 or Big 10 teams (Iowa I guess).

Four sixteen team conferences sounds stupid to me honestly, but I guess we'll see.

Another post from a memphis board -

Quote:

I have a little more information on this! KU is not interested in joining a conference that has partial members, it must be 12, 14, 16 full time members. KU officials have / are going to meet with several Big East presidents. There is some interest in forming another conference featuring a merger of schools that remain in the Big 12, Big East schools, and several Conference USA schools in which there will be a western division and a eastern division. I found this information about the possible line up:

West
KU
KSU
Baylor
Iowa State
Houston
Mizzou
Memphis
South Florida

East
WVU
Cinci
Louisville
UConn
Pitt
East Carolina
Syracuse / Rutgers / Central Florida / Temple

Each division leader would get their own BCS spot. The value of the TV network revenues is still under evaluation as there would be a network in each state where a school is present.

Even though it was 20-30 pages ago, apparently CU and Texas were the only 2 Big XII teams that were for sure going to get Pac 10 invites.

Yea, this is completely relevant to conference expansion.

Hmmm. Take these 4 power conferences, tell the NCAA to get stuffed and go out on their own. Pay players some amount of compensation and do their own championship elimination bracket for even more $$$.
