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.. |

All of this makes me sick. I hate, hate, hate how much of a loser Kansas City is in all of this.

Pretty good summary of the day's events in this KC Star article. Mentions the OU/OSU/UT/TT idea, and says KU and KSU seem committed to the Big 12. Won't post all of it... but it did throw out an idea no one has said yet:

Actually it looks like Oklahoma is the one who wants out.

See what I don't understand is why KU even gives a shit what happen here. Of the $70+million that the KU athletics gets 80-90% is basketball driven. They could go independent for BBall ala ND, and then join whatever conference they want for FB. Hell even if it were D3 it probably wouldn't matter much since they would likely make even more money as a BBall independent than as part of a conference since they would not have to share. It would likely be a wash. So it's not a 'KU is ****ed' it's more a who cares where they end up, it almost doesn't matter. The BBall program will have the national TV that it always gets. Only if they were ever to care about the FB program would it matter what conference they are in. But it's not clear how much they care.

I don't think Texas would be successful going independent now when it looks like all these super conferences are about to take shape. If there are 16 team conferences everywhere stacked with talented teams, then I would imagine most schools are going to be reluctant to schedule Texas and add an extra tough game on top of what they already play in schedule. Not that they'd get NO good games, but I don't think they'd get enough of them.

Nobody should want to be a part of the Big East right now.
They will almost certainly be raided by the Big 10 and the ACC. I sure hope KU lands somewhere... |
