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.. |

The funny thing is the Big 10 thinking they are enhancing their conference by adding shit like Missouri, Rutgers, Syracuse, etc.
The only sport that matters in expansion is football since it is all about adding value to football TV contracts. Missouri football has ZERO national presence or following. Same with Rutgers football, same with Syracuse football. Nebraska is the only national football brand among the rumored expansion candidates. |

Missouri has now won eight games in the regular season for four consecutive seasons. There are fewer than 15 teams in college football who can say that. And now that they've done it with two different quarterbacks, with different players every single position (not one player who started the Texas Bowl was a starter for the 2006 Sun Bowl), Missouri has proven it can sustain success. Recruits are taking notice.

Do you see ESPN making documentaries about Missouri football? No
Missouri won't play Miami after the 'Canes ass raped them back in '89 in Columbia. You should know your role on the collective college football food chain (Missouri football qualifying as even a blip on the college football food chain would be an achievement) before talking smack. |
