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.. |

Same thing with KU basketball... I always felt like the other schools always seemed intimidated by them. The dominant Big 12 programs kinda dished it out to the other schools. |

There are those who wish to continue to be ground under the Longhorn boot, and those who do not.
I'm tired of arguing with the "Stay in the Big XII, it'll be okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" crowd. |

the only question is about where the Big 12 teams end up and do some of them move together. personally i say good riddance ... as long as KU ends up in a BCS conference and is treated like a valued member of their new conference. It would be nice if A&M or TT ends up in the new conference with KU but that's only because i want to keep that state's recruiting open for KU, not because i give a shit whether i play another school from Texas again. as for MU/KSU, color me ambivalent :shrug good luck and well .... bye ![]()

If you go to a new conference and get your ass beat it's not gonna matter much what happened in your old conference. I imagine KU will be pretty much the same as before ... upper in basketball and lower in football. how much upper and how much lower will just have play out

Anyone else think it's ironic that the state of Kansas could join something called the "Mountain" West?

Lee's Summit is probably the most Missourian town I can think of.

OK. I'm not reading 5400 posts. Anyone care to recap what happened?
