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.. |

Here's the thing...I don't think KU or K-State have anything to worry about, as far as being in a BCS/AQ conference.
It could be the Pac-16, Big East, or the Big XII. IMO, the Big XII is most likely, with 1 new member.

One Big 12 administrator told Orangebloods.com Big 12 staying together has 70% chance; Pac-12 raiding B12 a 30% chance.

Pinkel takes a shot across the bow:
davidubben David Ubben He's firin'! MT @BryanDFischer Pinkel on Big 12: "You don't hear about these issues at any other lg ... we all know where it starts" ChuckCarltonDMN Chuck Carlton OK, we have Tech AD Kirby Hocutt saying Big 12 must get back to 10 immediately, now Gary Pinkel takes aim at conference unity. Not good. |

If you get Pinkel riled up, you've accomplished something.
I've heard him in front of 3 different radio guys and each time he just says "Look, we're just here to play football..." I even heard him get a little bit annoyed with Spitz and Will in Columbia when they asked him about it about a month ago. Pinkel's done everything he can to stay above the fray here and I'm really surprised to see him start launching shots now, even as tame as that one was.

Best thing that could happen right now, from my perspective, is tagging 3 schools. Why not create a complete and total religious mess of it and snag BYU, Notre Dame and SMU. I would absolutely love to see a semi-annual matchup between the Catholics and the Mormons. Clark Hunt would donate Arrowhead for an SMU-Mizzou matchup or SMU-KU Matchup. Hell. it's all pie in the sky anyway, why not wish big?

The amount of insight offered is all that a comment like "BYU has a larger endowment than UT" deserves.

With BYU TV and Satellite Radio already, plus the 50 Million + mormons out there... I dont think it will be long before they catch Texas... Also, I have yet to see Texas Longhorn network on Direct TV and or Sirius/XM... When is that going to happen? |
