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'm looking forward to a potential UW vs. Mizzou/Nebraska Rose Bowl.

lol, apparently Indiana hasn't been to a bowl game since '93. That's worse than Baylor, they last went to one in '94.

Are you sure? That information came from the Big 10's official site.

Missouri was an underachiever in football despite playing the pathetic Big 12 North... good luck trying to build your football program in a much tougher beefed up Big 10.

Despite paying the likes of Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, a down Nebraska and a down Colorado every season for the past 5-6 years... Mizzou has nothing but Independence Bowls and Texas Bowls to show for it. When you start replacing Kansas, Iowa State and Colorado with the likes of Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio State every year on your schedule, I don't see how that improves your chances of making a better bowl game year in and year out. |
