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.. |

William Moore Three Stars Wide Receiver Holy Shit, Rivals knows more about William Moore than Gary Pinkel and the Atlanta Falcons. Someone get on the horn with Arthur Blank and let him know that the Falcons already have their #2 WR on the roster!

I really really want Louisville (love the MCBB possibilities) and would love to see Cincy brought in as well. Throw them both in the North and lets kick this pig.

Huh? I will give you Ohio St, but Mich, Wisc. and Penn St. is debatable, but come on Mich. St. sucks.

I'm partial to TCU b/c it's stronger academically than either of the two you list. Cinci and Louisville aren't Memphis-bad, but they're not good, either. I'm leery, however, of continuing to feed the Texas monster, thus yielding even more money for the imminent Texas Network. But maybe this shouldn't be much of a worry. |

I don't know. I'm pretty excited to see the Blackshirts face those offenses.

With OU essentially being an arm of UT and OSU standing in lock-step with OU at all times, putting TCU in there is essentially 7 Texas squads. We have enough trouble with these guys, I'm not inclined to let it get any worse. As for academics - the Big 10 just admitted the University of Nebraska. Yes, that Nebraska. I'm done pretending that academics have any bearing on conference affiliation.

I really wanted to see if the MU spread could've done some damage against those plodding old plowhorses out there. This still sucks.
