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.. |

As a hawkeye fan I'm glad to see NU join the big ten. I wish missouri would have done the same. Would/will make for some fun rivalries.
Oh, and F ISU. |

If we go to four 16 team superleagues (Pac 16, Big 16, SEC 16 and ACC 16), I don't think you'll like what is left of the Big East. I'd expect that Pitt, WVU, UCONN, Syracuse, and Rutgers would all be gone...
The best case for the Big 12 (now 10) would be for Texas and the rest of the remaining teams to stay in the league--and for the league to look at adding two more teams. Memphis and Louisville would make nice adds, imo. I assume the Pac-10 would then add Utah--and all the talk of expansion would be over for a little while. FWIW, though, I don't think that is what is going to happen. I think these four 16 team superleagues want to take a bigger share of the pie. |

It's on Direct TV now but as I recall I only got one station. Not a tier of games. Hope that changes once the games start next year.

Someone within Mizzou coming out and basically saying "yeah we're interested" would have gone way beyond "flirting" and deep into the realm of "shamelessly throwing yourselves at them". Congratulations, Mizzou had some amount of pride and restraint during the fiasco. We still didn't see much in the way of denial until recently.

Also, just to not be misunderstood, I am in no way blaming Missouri for Nebraska leaving. If anyone other than NU deserved some blame, its Texas. Mizzou just happened to be a convenient scapegoat for them, they would have trotted out some other excuse.

Yeah, it's absolutely shocking that a university that isn't one of the holders of power within the conference would be willing to listen to an offer that could benefit the university, state, and city of Columbia. Shocking. |

I think last year DISH had two stations carrying the games but the second one wasn't advertized very well. You just had to know it was there.

I'm not saying its necessarily a bad thing especially from their viewpoint. It is just hilarious to me that people were somehow trying to argue that Mizzou wasn't flirting with the Big 10. It's ok, nothing to be ashamed of. It's also useless to try to convince the rest of us after the fact that it didn't happen.
