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.

It's probably been said, but if two schools leave the Big 12 for the Big 10, then doesn't the Big 10 become the Big 12 and the Big 12 becomes the Big 10? So in reality those two schools didn't leave, and the other 20 schools did?

Yup. Kinda crushes the "The Big Ten won't add more than one team/it dilutes the payouts too much" argument I've seen bandied about on Phog.net, doesn't it?

That's why the Big Ten will add five teams...

Missouri, Nebraska, Syracuse, Pitt and Rutgers (Notre Dame would dump Pitt or Rutgers if it changes its mind).

The cable subscribers alone pay for the teams that are being added. Then you throw in the $35-40 million the four-team, three-game football playoff brings, the increased hoops revenue, and so on... and you see why Big Jim Delaney is making this happen.

That creating a 16-team megaconference in football will spark further realignment and eventually kill the BCS and NCAA helps, too.

Make no mistake, the Big Ten sees this as an opportunity to strike the NCAA. College sports' future is four-superconferences encompassing 64-70 teams.

Everyone else? I guess they can stay in the NCAA, which is going to eventually become a "minor" league.

Oh, no doubt. But you compare Mizzou to some of the other schools in the running, and the Tigers are much more in control than, say, Pitt (which is a good fit but adds no new TV sets or money), Syracuse (which was not one of the initial five targets but slid up when Notre Dame said "no" again), or any of the other schools that won't get an invite...

I'm late to this discussion, but maybe this explains why I've been offered Big 10 packages on my TWC service?

You know the big 10 currently has 11 schools right?

I've had the Big Ten Network from day one on Directv. They also have like 5 alternate channels so every game broadcast is available in HD.
