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.. |

Reerun, all schools had the same mantra about being committed to the Big 12. It doesn't mean that things weren't being looked at, discussed and feelers weren't released into the wild. You seem to be under the impression that the individual schools hold their destinies in their hands. While some may (Texas and Oklahoma for sure), others may not. I'm perfectly OK with schools sitting back and seeing how the dominoes will fall. I think it's pretty safe to say that all B12 North schools will have a home in the Big East should they so desire.

I know people are saying that KSU and ISU must have a place to land - but I'm not sure I see it, unless it's the Big East (and that just sounds like a big ol' puddle of suck to me). I still can't understand for the life of me how the Big XII, with the geographic advantages it had as well as 3 traditional power schools and a handful of strong 'supporting' schools like Mizzou, OSU and A&M could have allowed this to happen. It all goes back to them being reactive when the Nebraska to the B1G rumors started up. They should have immediately moved to strengthen the conference rather than allowing their long-term member schools to get picked off. Dan Beebe is completely inept and the leadership of this conference should get excoriated by everyone for what's happened here.

KU is a bubble team...our merits will be discussed once everyone else has been admitted, and then we're fighting over the last 2 spots...that's the deal

No problem. Just refrain from doing that from now on.

Yeah, but you probably thought that inbred 'Bama fan poisoning those 150 year old trees was funny too.

Pac-12/16/18/20 won't take them because they are a religious institution.

C'mon, guys. You can't hold that against KU fans. Even we know that Fescoe is an idiot.
