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 see Kstate is selling the Missouri State/ Nebraska tickets for a 100 bucks. Guess Kstate fans only go to football games if the team is winning.

We disagree then, those scholarships are going to be hard to replace plus Lane Kiffin is not the best college coach there is for putting kids in the pros. Time will tell ...... 2012 is a pipe dream Dane. It could easily take 5 years to rebuild with Lane Kiffin.

That is a fucking stupid way to look at this. The other schools get a shitload of money, they're a helluva lot better off because the Big 12 is saved, and you whine because Texas gets more.
That's the kind of thinking that is ruining this country. |

Furthermore, there *is* no rebuild necessary. They just completed the season with a Freshman QB. They had an amazing recruiting haul. And contrary to all of the whining about Lane Kiffin, it appears that you missed the part where he was right about the Raiders (and especially, JaMarcus Russell) and he completed a pretty good first season for Tennessee. Two years is nothing for a school like USC. Guys will be still be lining up to attend. |

Oklahoma is now the only team in that conference that can compete with Texas, on the field and financially.

Tre Madden one of the top recruits in the country has already said he's still going to USC.

Their recruits probably know chances are they wont start their freshman or sophomore years anyways.. and some will be redshirted anyways.. The only way they hurt is if a whole bunch of their juniors and seniors walk away now. Even then they are right back in two years. Three max.

Plus wouldn't the sanctions hurt USC years down the road? None of the recruits for the past few years are leaving and those years USC had one of the best recruiting classes in the country.

I do think the loss of scholarships will have an impact but not anything SC can't come back from. One thing: USC had better keep their shit straight, if they commit more violations the NCAA will put the hammer down on them. |
