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.. |

hope KU gets out quick if they're going cause they'll only be the third team out, and Tom Obsorne informed us that three teams leaving a conference doesn't break up a conference.
so unless KU wants to be blamed for the downfall of the Big12, they better do the damn thing.

yea ... with tongue firmly planted in cheek while they continued to try and work out a deal with the Big-10
it's beyond stupid to try and pretend that MU wasn't "working it" i guess no one should be surprised that MU and their fans are completely full of shit. They can't even even stop lying and about their lies. They took their shot and it didn't work out(yet) ... MUron's just need to stop being such pussies and man up. i fully expect them to pull another 180 and start talking shit with more lies if they end up going to the Big-10 later on.

Don't really know that yet. We have conflicting reports that the #16 pick is Utah or Kansas. (You might wonder "Utah?" but they have apparently been working on the PAC 10 for years)

Any new rumors with KU in the last 24 hours?
Don't feel like reading the last 500 posts.

Look at Utah demographics. It's got about the same population as Kansas and is growing at a much greater clip.

Texas A&M may have said no. (possibly looking at the SEC?) That means if the Big 12 dies, Kansas could back-door their way into the PAC 10

If you look closer at demographics, SLC is at best split in half between Utah and BYU. Utah doesn't have markets like Wichita and Topeka to supplement the competition of KU/KC market. That gives KU a roughly 300-500 thousand edge in viewership. Utah's ace in the hole is Sen. Hatch, that's the only reason it is a tossup.
