Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 100

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.

No, see, we actually win things on a national stage from time to time.

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

oh wait...

I hop into the thread, and all I see are KU fans trying to explain just how great they are. Feeling a bit insecure?

It was pretty obvious where Wickedson was headed as soon as he started posting in these threads. Nice, steady buildup.

Good ol' Wickedson. He's reeruned, but he keeps trying.

Hey....that's an insult to us reeruned people.

See if you can follow: The Pac-10 is waiting on word from the Big 12 South schools, which are waiting for Nebraska and Missouri, who are waiting for the Big Ten, which is waiting on Notre Dame, which is hoping to keep its independent status and avoid seismic changes in the college athletic landscape.

The Mountain West might end up waiting on all of them.

And then there's the politics: Texas lawmakers are pushing for Baylor, a private school, to head to the Pac-16 rather than Colorado. Iowa State supporters want rival Iowa of the Big Ten to vote no on conference expansion to keep the Big 12 intact and stop expansion-geddon.

Conference expansion does indeed make strange bedfellows.

The Idaho Statesman. Apparently the MWC is realizing that, instead of inviting Boise State now, they can wait a little bit and maybe snatch up a good portion of the Big 12 North. The fun is just beginning.

I'm just playin. I got lots of MU friends. I hope you guys do well in the Big 10, I really do.

It sucks that we won't be in a conference together anymore as well as Nebraska and Oklahoma.

It's sad that 100 years of tradition is being thrown away for a few extra million dollars.

You are the most passive aggressive piece of shit on this board since Kotter's bat shit days.
