Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 509

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.

If there exists an opportunity to split from Texas and Oklahoma; do it.

How so?

Sorry DCS. I should have worded that different. Missouri has nowhere to go at the moment. I think thats going to change. But I think you will have to wait till next year.The LHN is going to wait a year,let things calm down,then air top UT high school recruits. I still think & hope the Tigers end up in the Big10.

Then we agree. There's nothing to be done this year, but we should always be on the lookout to better our position and get out from under the heel of Texas.

SMU always has had a good relationship with the Big 12 North schools especially Mizzou and Kansas.

Did TAMU leave yet?

I'd laugh when A&M leaves to get their asses kicked in the SEC and make less money doing it(in a few years after the Big12 signs that new TV deal). But which is also funny and most likely going to happen, the SEC will get enough votes to keep A&M out.

You will only laugh if UT tells you it's ok to laugh.

I think we have the rights after beating them last year.

Notre Dame to the Big 12 is the most ridiculous thing I've heard since realignment discussion began.
