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.. |

Maybe it's not. If the Big 10 offers full membership on equal terms, sure, take it. Of course I'm not scared of the level of competition, regardless of what Zackipoo and his quivering labia say. But the odds of that happening are slim (at best) and none. As I said before, I think if any deal is offered at all it will be a shitty one, and Missouri would not be negotiating from a position of strength, and the offer will be take-it-or-****-off. I don't think they would have crapped all over us last year if they truly valued us. And they are obviously not to be trusted.
IMO, a solid deal from the Big East is better than a shitty deal from the Big 10. The only thing worse than crawling to them for scraps is getting relegated to a non-BCS conference. |

Woah.
Seems like a credible enough feed (though I'm not convinced it's an 'official' one). In either event, that could be a major game-changer for the XII. It may not make a big difference for MU (who may still consider the SEC a better spot if they get an invite), but it would seem to keep the XII alive.
