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 keed, I keed. Mizzou would have been a fine addition to the B10. Apparently they would have brough more to the academic table as well. Not that I'm not glad to have NU, I am.

Pinkel isn't a bullshit artist.
Hell, he was the only one at B12 media days who didn't kiss Texas' ring when asked about the Longhorn Network. Nothing I know of Pinkel points to him making that statement would make it untrue. |

That sarcasm sounds a lot like Norm Stewart.

The Big 10 network works simply because the alum bases are so big. Doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the sports that people watch on tv. As a Big 12 fan I want every single game played to be on TV somewhere, but in these economic times people just aren't going to pay for it. They have too many other things to do. Longhorn has a good chance of simply not happening. But its not like ESPN can't afford to give a bunch of cash to Texas. Who cares. They have anything money can buy anyway. |

NU would have probably been #5 in the Big 12 at best.
Big 12 > Big 10

Big 10 sports writers have the Huskers favored to win the Big 10 Do I think they will? probably not this year. I see Iowa playing their best game of the year in Lincoln. Iowa will seek Revenge. Huskers are 3 steps away from being the team they once were. #1 penalty #2 turn overs #3 clock management. |
