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.

I think they have the power just in absketball to do it, but then you deprive your team of any media deal income from a conference. No conf. tourney etc.

Maybe it works if it's football and you are ND, with the capital to get a lucrative media deal on your own. I don't know if it would work in a lower revenue sport....?

No chance.

I honestly don't believe any basketball program could thrive as an independant. If one did, it would have to be one of the East Coast schools that exists in stronger basketball territory.

KU is in flyover country. For all the yap about national recognition, they're still in the midwest. They'll never get the media backing and television deal they'd need to make it as an independant.

There's no way KU would continue to thrive as an independant in basketball.

Problem is it may take a year or two to get to that point after things shake out, if indeed they do.
I really dont think it would be fun getting our asses Kicked in the SEC each year... (football)


But the basketball sure would be fun... Kentucky each year! Wahoo!

I don't see the TV contract being there for KU to be independent in bball. Could be wrong, but this realignment could change each and every major conference - which, if it does, could mean a spot in the ACC/Big East. I don't know really know....I'm talking out of my ass now.

Which conference is going to want KU if they don't get KU basketball? What would that conference gain?

I think with the revenue that KU generates something will fall in place and one of the major conferences will pick them up.

When there's money to be made someone will find a way to do it.

You underestimate KU's national appeal.

This is why only a few schools can have ticket scandals. KU is one of them.

Is that really the selling point? Serious question.

Edit: Neither of you have suggested a conference that would take that deal. Does such a conference exist? If so, which one is it?
