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 saw a SamWise Hall post in there too.
Something about being unable to beat Texas. On the field. In the classroom. At the bank. Honestly though, I'm glad UNL got what they wanted. Hopefully they won't have the mental block when it comes to whipping tOSU, Whiskey etc that they had when it came to Utexas. The Skers should handle Iowa pretty easily. Hell, if that team can win the conference... well... [chuckle] |

Nebraska never ran the show. The NU-OU rivalry ended when the Big 12 was formed. That can't be underestimated.

Bullshit Sam. Nebraska agreed to bring in Texas they are just as guilty as anyone. Lets call it like it is Nebraska moved to the Big Ten for money. The football team will benefit from it.

What are you talking about? Do you think I am against smack talk or sarcasm? Because I am not.

No, I think you are taking this too seriously though. I'm not your enemy we've gotten along for the most part. Certainly you see the hypocrisy about someone calling out a fanbase while making fun of that teams dead QB.

The man in your avatar had some reservations about the Big 12. Turns out he was correct about the Big 12 being centered in Texas.

Yes some but not enough to tell Texas to **** off. Nebraska was the big boy was the time i'm sure they could have atleast tried to tell Texas go away.

Hopefully now you understand what "double standard" means. |

What if you're a fan of Air Force and thus have a triple standard? Can someone define this, please?
