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.. |

I have conflicting feelings about this though. I definitely don't want to be in the same conference as UT when this is all said and done, but I wouldn't mind OU moving to the north division. That would give us (Mizzou) consistent top-level competition that would serve us well in the long run. |

they have high level football and bball programs, a national brand, and a rich recruiting area as a KU fan, I want KU stapled to UT's backside...if the price of KU being in the bcs, having access to texas recruits (without which KU football is fooked), and making real football money is UT getting a bigger cut...so what? plus, UT provides a real bball power for KU to spar with, and brings top 20 recruits to the big 12 yearly which helps the leagues perception with all recruits...

The fab five (K-State, KU, MU, ISU, and BU) are working hard to promote a 10-team Big 12 conference - which could be a financial boon for us |

They played in the SEC Championship game 4 years ago. It's not like they're the conference doormat.

So just how much does ISU owe Texas if the Big12 is maintained?

Let's be real for a minute. this proposed new tv deal would pay something like 15M for the next 18 years? How's that gonna look in year 10 if other conferences are pulling in an average of 25M after reworking their tv deals?
