Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 41

Mr. Laz · 02:57 PM

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.

Help refresh my memory on that. Was it the Big 12s fault?

Are those teams located in Missouri City?

Interestingly enough....Kasnas City, MO was really close to being called "Kaw's Mouth"

Which, unlike ku, could be more than one sport per year.

Dude, you crack me up. Talk to me when your school wins SOMETHING. Dear, God, just anything meaningful. Anything. Because even our secondary sport has something to show (it actually happened the same season our primamry sport captured the NC so your theory is ****ing gabage, but whatever).

Is Columbia, Mo in South America? You would think those brilliant Missourians could come up with something original, but no.
