Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 53

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.

I could even see UNLV to replace Colorado. Really, though, Colorado is out of place in the Big XII as it is. It would make more sense to move East if Colorado bolts. Cincinnati, Louisville, and Memphis would be a pretty good trifecta if CU, NU, and MU all leave. If they want to go to sixteen, the pickings get awfully slim if you don't want to really spread out and/or go to three time zones which doesn't make much sense.

The most exciting thing that could happen at a Bears game was this little bear cub that would be on the sideline and do funny stuff watching the opposing team and what they were up too.

it's funny, every few years they'll get some new hotshot coach that promises the world. then, after four years of mediocrity, he's gone and the next guy is here. it's kinda sad, there's a base of fans there should they ever have any sustained success.

You're way off. FCS is what used to be called Division 1-AA.

d-2, 1-double A, I honestly don't pay much attention to such things. I knew it was a lower rung, so that's close enough for me.

For what that is worth

Yeah, Keitzman claims he knows the offer has been made behind the scenes. 610 (Nick Wright) says Keitzman doesn't know jack... and is playing the odds. Says that everyone thinks it will happen, and KK is gambling (lying) so that he can claim the big "scoop" when it does.

Who knows?

But I do think it will happen.

Why would ESPN run WHB's reporting unless they're doing some research of their own? Makes no sense.

Reputable news organizations aren't going to trust anyone without checking into the story.

i think that a) KK doesn't know shit, like always...anyone can figure out by now that it is probably going to happen, he's just trying to steal credit for it...and b)it will happen but no one is going to speak publicly about it until every t is crossed etc...

so yeah, basically what he said..heh

Sure-Oz · 05-10-2010, 07:15 PM

Nick was saying that he doesn't believe it cause it's KK out of all the news sources out there...

I don't blame him but it doesn't matter it's gonna happen.

Just received a major breakthru in Big 12 Expansion-gate. I will reveal the info at the top of the show tomorrow. you won't want to miss it 1 minute ago via web

Nick Wright calling anyone out about misinformation is pretty funny...

I'm still waiting for that Anquan Boldin trade or for John Henderson to visit.

He's isn't any more credible than Ketizman's dumb ass.

i have no interest in defending wright...but henderson said he was visiting on his show, on air....hard to blame the guy for that...

and the point remains, kk has been wrong so many times that it really isn't even funny anymore...

**KcMizzou** · 05-10-2010, 07:21 PM

Sounds like KK broke the ice, and now all the local media's gonna start pulling stuff out of their ass, and hope theirs sticks.
