Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment

[Mr. Laz]

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.

That's a non issue, though, because Kansas was never in the discussion for B10. I have no idea who, where or when ever said that was the reason KU isn't going to the B10.

Second time I've seen this posted. Can anybody cite the legislative act that states this?

You did when you suggested that Wichita St. and Creighton could be possibilities for a new Big XII, despite neither school having football programs.

So you have to participate in all sports to be a part of a conference. Notre Dame sais what?

Of course it is far from ideal but in my opinion it is way better to add a couple of schools even though they may not compare to what we have in the big 12 than disband the big 12 and let the chips fall wherever they may which is a scary thought.
