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.. |

I think it has more to do with getting a lot more money here than elsewhere than anything else. They didn't seem to have any problem with not "controlling everything" back before the big 12 was blown away with this new TV contract promise.

CU leaving had nothing to do with itchy feet or jumping the gun, this has apparently been in the works for awhile. |

Not being able to have a Texas network is also a huge deal. Huge.

It is safe to assume that this is close enough to official to treat it as such. Texas wouldn't stay without something more solid than a guess or a vague promise.

Maybe the Tucson folks at AU would consider it. The Phoenix/Scottsdale folks think exactly like Californians when it comes to the Midwest.
Never mind the people in the midwest are worth 100x more as human beings; these pukes don't get it for the most part. |
