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.. |

Kentucky wasn't irrelevant for 12 years. They had a few bad years from 06-09 when they didn't win the SEC or make it to the sweet 16 and actually missed the tournament in 09. They did win the SEC four times and the SEC tournament four more times from 99-05 as well as making the sweet 16 3 times and the elite eight 3 times.

Basketball is important to Mizzou... so long as they aren't comparing Mizzou basketball to KU basketball. Mizzou football is an absolute juggernaut compared to KU... slightly better than half the time. And they have a fine journalism school.

I don't think you have been reading any of my posts. I have never said that MU leaving is a bad thing for MU. I've been saying the complete opposite from the very beginning.

That's only because Northern Iowa isn't good enough to be ranked.

Fox Sports realized it. In fact, besides Kansas State and Missouri, they think Kansas is supposed to be the best basketball team in the bi-state area this year.

It's way too early for basketball rankings considering that football season is still 4 months away. Hell, it's way too early for football rankings.
