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.. |

Actually, if they stay at 10 teams they will each make 17m with Texas earning 25m. Plus their own Longhorn Network. Which could earn them substantially more.
A "Longhorn Network" would be a boon for recruiting for Texas to insure that they get all of the best players from the state. We need a kick ass Big 12 network... that shows kick ass shit from all of the remaining teams. **** it. It can't be that expensive to run a network these days. |

You know, this whole ordeal has made me hate MU and KSU a little less. And Nebraskans a little more... and Texas a little less. Still don't give a **** about Colorado.

You know what?
Who gives a crap? Martin Riggs is losing to Snake ****ing Plissken in the damn Herolympics, get over there and vote Riggs. Read the thread first and you'll know why a vote for Plissken is like a vote against America.

I hate KU as much as I ever have, which is to say only slighly less than Al Qaeda (who I actually prefer over Tom Osborne and the Cornholers).

Oh, I agree. By both, I mean "a kick ass Big 12 network", and Texas having their own. We all know which of those will happen.

What could the "Big Ten" TM do if the Big XII renamed themselves to the Big X. That'd be funny.

Rumored by Chip Brown are Air Force and BYU. I've read this page and not the one before it, so if that's a repost, I apologize.
Some "insider" on JayhawkSlant says Arizona and Arizona State might defect, since they are already unhappy in the Pac 10. But that makes next to zero sense, because it would dilute the money coming in to the current schools (and not add enough simply by adding the state to make up for it), and because it would bring back a conference championship game, which Mothership Overlord UT and its ****-buddy OU both hated and wanted rid of. "Insiders" on Rivals, if they aren't the actual publisher, are little more than lonely men making shit up and pretending to protect confidentiality. If any of you are on PowerMizzou, look no further than V-P.

So will the Mizzou Sports Network become more powerful under this new conference alignment?

Just now reading the collective beatdown that Billay got. Jesus. If that exchange had happened last week then the Big 10 would not have deemed Nebraska to be academically sufficient for their conference.
