Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 99

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.

Tradition, Class, and Excellence. Three things Missouri has tried to achieve for over 100 years yet you still find yourself as small as ever.

KUnt.

It's not because they aren't affiliated with a conference, so I'm not sure the point, other than to hate.

I don't have an affiliation with a NCAA university, so it's funny to sit back and read this 1400 post thread, with the majority of it being either KU fan scared shitless they are going to be left out in the cold, or now the ND hate.

It's a comical read. It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, actually happens.

The only people bring up KU in this thread are MU fans, the Iowa guy and the Florida guy.

Stop inventing statements to help you arguments. It's lame

No big TV markets. Much smaller population than MO and is shared with another big school. That's why. We're not the greatest school ever, not even close. We are, however, much better than mizury.

Year in and year out Champions of the newly BCS level MWC?

Or an also ran in the Big 10?

I know which one I'd want.

I'm assuming you want the other.

Good luck trying to win anything there.

Is that supposed to sting? KU can't really do anything to help their location and business viability for possible networks. Such is life. MU is garbage, it's just located in a larger populace region. I have no idea why you think that somehow makes your trophy-less school any better.

Yes, you are, KUnt. Pathetic, and soon, utterly irrelevant.

Sting? No. Just a possible reality. What I find really funny is the amount of KU fans trying to argue that Mizzou is garbage when the two institutions, from an athletic standpoint, are highly comparable.

But regional issues are helping one university and hurting another, thus the former MUST be inferior. Too funny.

Well you've been irrelevant for the last 100 years and getting blown out by Navy in bowl games doesn't exactly help you improve on that.

Sorry.
