Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 396

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.

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.

Um, what? Explain please.

It isn't.

Nebraska has more money, more name recognition, was on the rise anyway, and this little coup they just pulled has done nothing but make it all that much better. Everything Iowa has, they're going to take. Forcibly. Top recruits, top bowl bids, and most importantly, games.

When they're digging your battered players out of the turf of Memorial Stadium, I'm betting you'll wish they were still in the Big XII.

Enjoy. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Who is Julie McCoy? Do your jowls flap when you type and make that fat-chick-on-a-treadmill kind of sound? I can just see the veins pounding as you sit there dreaming up your bitter scenarios of vengeance.
Stop by the store, grab a bag of flour and tear off a piece when you get back to the barn. Might calm you down a little.

The rest of the Big XII South's invitations were conditioned on Texas accepting their invitation.

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

It is, they jumped before conference talks could take place, they wanted the jump on aTm.

MU wanted B10 to get away from Texas. MU growled, got played.
CU jumped >>>>>>
NU showed their discontent with UT ..... They jumped ... C Ya >>>>>>>

Texas played it cool, had no reason to jump at once.

Got a better contract as everybody is the bride at UT's wedding.

Pac 10 will blow up, CU will be a cupcake for years in the Pac 10, USC is / will be down for years, The Ducks will rule, Yeah! Go Ducks.

AZ & AZ St could bolt later. It's a real scenario.

Both of your statements would be hyperbole, so yes I would call it out. You're bitching just to bitch.

And try to contain your envy.

Good old vailpuss. You can't dispute a single thing I said, so have a fat joke! Tell us the truth now - you're actually related to Shitsprayer, aren't you?

That's okay - you've got a couple of years to round up a new favorite team, fan boy.

The Dolphins were already in existence when I moved to FL. I follow Florida teams (Heat, Marlins, Rays, Panthers, Lightning) that began after I moved to the state.

You think USC won't rebound in 2 years? Also I think UCLA could be the next USC.

I hope so. I wouldn't want to see the Wac10 get Texas and OU and I'm glad for Iowa State and K-State.

The ironic thing for Colorado is it is quite possible their sports teams will get worse. It is going to be hard to get a recruit from a coastal state to go play thousands of miles away and freeze their ass off. Also, midwestern recruits won't want to play there because they don't play any schools around them and won't be on tv.

What is there to dispute dude? You rant like a madman. NU is going to bring about the ruin of Iowa? We've been in the conference with OhioState, Michigan for 100 years and Penn State for 20 years or so. NU is a welcome addition that makes our strong conference stronger.
Your post contained nothing to dispute, just the ramblings of a fat, bitter and unhappy coronary candidate.

I'm pretty sure you're a ****ing land-whale so why don't you shut the **** up.

It would be irony if you were actually right.

CU predominantly recruits in Cali, Arizona, and Texas. They don't recruit the Midwest.

They have more alums in Pac 10 states than Big XII states.
