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.. |

Big 12 is a worthless pile of shit and nobody would want to join it? I can understand the Nebraska fans being all about this but why MUrons? just defeated and dejected?

I doubt the Big XII will expand to 12 if they get BYU. The current contract for 2nd Tier rights is for a ten team conference. There is no guarantee that the networks will rework that contract for a couple of "add ons", which means the pie gets divided down. If we expand to 12 it will only be for one of two scenarios:
the other two are prominent programs that would be leverage to renegotiate the deal or the Big XII will wait until the 1st tier negotiations are coming up and expand if they think it will increase that contract. There is absolutely no reason to add 2nd tier schools for the sole sake of getting back to 12. Basically, this whole thing comes down to whether BYU says yes or not.

What major conference is the one hemorrhaging teams right now? Beyond that, what are the reasons for it (Tx) and have those reasons been addressed (oh hell no). Why would you join that one? Besides, due to the geography, BYU may be better served to just wait for conference Armageddon and get their invite from the PAC.

Thanks Saul. I read CC's stuff. Don't know how he knows what he knows, but he's been pretty accurate.
