Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 599

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.

Deaton seems to indicate MU is talking to other conferences
By Mike DeArmond - Posted on 07 September 2011

Missouri chancellor Brady Deaton had nothing to share regarding what went on during Wednesday’s Big 12 Board of Directors teleconference.

But when a reporter from the Columbia Missourian spoke briefly to Deaton, he seemed to come as close as any MU official ever has to confirming a rather huge point: That Missouri officials have spoken to other conferences or at least officials from schools in other conferences, about MU’s status and possible future in a move away from the Big 12.

“There's so much discussion around the nation right now that I think there's probably not an institution in the Big 12 that has not been in discussions with other institutions,” Deaton, who’s the chairman of the Big 12 Board of Directors, was quoted by the Missourian as saying.

“I don't think there's any process going on in terms of expansion; that's just my assessment of it.”

Deaton — as MU athletic director Mike Alden did on Saturday — supported
statements made by MU football coach Gary Pinkel in which he criticized the instability and uncertainty of the Big 12.

“I was aware of the comments he made and felt good about them,” Deaton said.

Missouri in the past two weeks has been generally portrayed in as a possible target for any number of other conferences should the Big 12 implode.
Included as possible landing points for Mizzou have been the SEC, the Pac-12, the Big East and the Big Ten.

Gee! Really?

teedubya · 09-07-2011, 04:13 PM

From TexAgs:

ou has agreed to stay, meaning the Big 12 is still viable. There will also look to expand back to 10 teams. An agreement has also been reached also to split 1st and 2nd tier revenue from the TV contracts evenly.

This means **** is free to go to the SEC without fear of litigation from the small 6.

"Hello, you have reached Big 10 offices. No one is available to take your call. Please leave a message."

Beep.

Hey, this is Missouri. I think maybe your phone is broken. I've left like 8 messages. Anyway, I can't stand these guys over here. Don't tell them I said anything, but could we maybe hang out and go to a movie or something? I'll be here. If I don't answer...hello?...hello?.....Oh, I though you picked up. Anyway, if I don't answer leave a message so I at least know your phone is working. Bye.

To: Students, Faculty and Staff

Due to the tremendous amount of interest surrounding the ongoing discussions about Texas A&M's athletic conference affiliation, I am devoting my weekly email to this one topic. As I have said repeatedly, this matter is extremely important to the future of our great university. With that in mind, please be assured that we are working diligently to get this highly complex matter resolved as quickly as possible. If you aren't already aware, the following is a copy of the statement I released earlier today regarding Texas A&M's conditional acceptance into the Southeastern Conference last night:

"We are certainly pleased with the action taken last night by the presidents and chancellors of the Southeastern Conference to unanimously accept Texas A&M as the league's 13th member. However, this acceptance is conditional, and we are disappointed in the threats made by one of the Big 12 member institutions to coerce Texas A&M into staying in the Big 12 Conference. These actions go against the commitment that was made by this university and the Big 12 on Sept. 2. We are working diligently to resolve any and all issues as outlined by the SEC."

We are approaching these deliberations with the utmost respect for all of the Big 12 member institutions, and I strongly encourage you to do the same as well. As always, I will continue to keep the Texas A&M community informed as soon as there are any significant developments with the SEC and/or other conference-related discussions.

I apologize for the brevity of this week's campus update, which is unavoidable due to the intense conference alignment discussions, as well as dealing with other matters affecting the university.

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to reach a timely resolution to this critical issue.

Until next week, Gig 'em Aggies.

Anyone else picturing that scene from Swingers where he butchers the messages?

"Mike? Don't ever call me again."

As well they should. Just like Aggie extorted a disproportionate share
of Col. and Neb. exit fees from them just last year. I have no pity for aTm whatsoever after that stunt.

Two kinds of people in this world: those that do the ****ing and those that get ****ed. The latter usually resent the former, the former usually don't care.

No. It means the entire conference is dissolving and they are moving to find a seat before all the seats at the adult table are taken.
