Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 448

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.

The X Men Conference

You know, because X is the Roman numeral for 10.

Or, or, or The Big Square Root of 100 Conference....

OK, I'll shut up now.

How about; Texas and the Seven Dwarfs ?

Reminds me of that Jack Nicholson movie About Schmidt.

Utah easily moves into the top half of the Pac-12 in both sports.

Get better at football and academics and this fails to be an issue. Texas does have an unfair advantage in recruiting and funds but that didn't stop KState from having a great program during Snyder's first stint...

I seem to recall this same situation existing in the Big8 but the big bad guy was Nebraska... the same Nebraska that became a second class citizen in the Big 12 and now will be one in the Big 10.

And it hasn't stopped them from kicking UT's ass in every sport to this day.

It's a shame you had no other options. You have the COMO ability to be wrong. You add the side dish of ignorance though.

**DeezNutz** · 06-15-2010, 07:58 PM

Is it possible to be a coat-tail to a coat-tail? At what point do you reach the floor?

I, on the other hand, am quite happy to be Texas's itchy jockstrap. Yep, we hold their balls, but at least they're never fully happy with us.

I believe he'll be back. In three months. I hear there is an "We Had Options" banner ceremony. [Complete with two DVD set and they throw in some unused rehab equipment]

I'm pissed that guys like us are even allowed to think about KU. Seriously, we're beneath them. My $5K is in the mail, just cause.
