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.. |

We'll still play KU in non-conference play, right? Hard to imagine there not being a Border War.

![]() if I read the thread correctly, its another fan-base that is crying about being left behind. So much so that they are begging to get out of the conference. "wahhhhh....we deserved a better bowl game....wahhhhh!!" ![]()

Oh shit, how did I miss this? You're probably long gone but I'll respond anyway.
First of all, that was the BCS's doing, not the Big XII's. And it's not our fault that all eight (or however many it was) teams ranked ahead of us all lost in the following week. We weren't any less deserving than anyone else. |

I'm sick of giving those ****s the reach around by even stepping on the court with us, let alone beating the shit out of them in every single sport. Go to the Big 10. That conference is perfect for Missouri - an overrated pile of monkey shit that hasn't done jack shit forever. They would fit in with the rest of the ****ing has beens of the Big 10 perfectly. |

LOL at Mizzou fans bringing up two years ago the past doesn't matter? Enjoy your Alamo Bowl winning seasons your team isn't the best in the North anymore.

Oh hell, it was the Alamo Bowl, not the Texas Bowl, I got my years screwed up. I can't believe no one caught that.
Now it's all coming back to me, I remember wondering what all the outrage was about, the Alamo Bowl isn't a bad bowl. |

Nobody was saying Nebraska consistently got a leg up...
Nobody. They were just saying there were a string of screw jobs. 3 years running. They were not all equal but that Nebraska one in the middle was one of them. It isn't without merit and it really doesn't have shit to do with Nebraska. I was reading through this thread just saying...wow what are these assholes even arguing about. People were busy defending shit nobody said. |

There's no question KU going to a BCS game was a travesty, but the conferences don't pick who goes to those games. But I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the outrage over the other pairings. |

Anytime any sport gets away from being a merit-based system to something else it is upsetting to most fans. When it is your own team that gets screwed three years in a row then it can be even more aggravating. Don't get me wrong, going to 2nd/3rd tier bowls probably didn't a whole lot of Mizzou fans excited, but it is still frustrating to have the same thing happen three years in a row. Many fans feel like Beebe and the Big 12 should go to bat to make sure our conference's teams are rewarded accordingly for their level of performance, and stuff like this just serves as confirmation that the people running the Big 12 couldn't care less about Missouri. |
