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.. |

Yeah, Baylor is going to be #12, with no chair to sit in.

If the Okies go west I think the north teams should jump at a chance to join the Big East if they offer. Texas can't keep the Big 12 afloat much longer and the Big East window is likely a one time chance.
Wouldn't it be ironic if 4 of the little 5 were to be the ones to officially blow up the Big 12, and stick the knife to the arrogant, greedy Tejas Longhorns. |

I wouldn't be shocked if ISU ends up in the Big10 if this conference superpower shit goes down and the BigE is the next to fall. But if the other conferences don't splurge on schools I think the Big East is the landing spot for the rest of the north. Unless Mizzou ends up in the SEC, but then ISU KU and KSU would still end up in the east I would think.

Big East is the absolute worst-case scenario for Mizzou.

What would you guys consider worse than the Big East?
From the outside looking in, you guys would be foolish not to do everything in your power to join the SEC assuming the Big 10 wants no part of you. |

Rumor from Shaggybevo stating that aTm's admission comes only with the agreement that remaining BigXII members waive the right to sue the SEC.

It wouldn't 'kill' it but it would make a National Championship very very very unlikely. Assuming the current bowl structure remains in place they could go to a BCS bowl every now and then, which is nice I guess, but if you have NC dreams they'll be on life support. Especially if WVU leaves the conference.

Texas is such a joke of a state. When anyone in Texas doesn't get their way, they threaten to sue like a little girl.
Baylor is cut from the same cloth as UT. |
