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.. |

The theory is that the big 12 commissioner could never get a guarantee (other than logic from looking at the ACC getting a great deal) until this weekend. Apparently some network waited until the brink of losing it before finally swooping in with the promise.

So you don't have a suggestion. You just want to whine about who they did hire.

but being in a virtual tie for football supremacy with the SEC and the Big East in hoops should not be forgotten, despite the lack of media powers in the midwest.

You have a point about people on the West Coast. I wouldn't consider AZ schools to be in the same boat as the West Coast though. Arizona schools would make more money should they come to a Big 12 w/ the Texas schools.

How is KU a slave to Texas? Because everyone agreed it was OK to make 17mil as opposed to 9mil while Texas gets 25mil?

he's the same guy that apparently wants to fire Bill Self because he doesn't know how to teach offense. Every game thread was filled with his "god dammit Bill Self!!!!1111 its all your fault".
