Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 105

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 give you credit for admitting it. Owning up to your mistakes is the first step to correcting them.

This is all laughable. KU will not end up in a major conference because in the brave new NCAA you have to compete in both sports to be in a big conference. This football tradition is one of a bowl appearance about every 10 years in their football history and a losing record all-time in bowls.

As for Missouri, this school has not won a major bowl since the 60s. Winning a crappy new year's eve game means jack. Now hopefully the Big 10 is good for them but it's not like this is a storied program either.

KU fans are just panicing because they likely will be left in the cold with only one sport and no full shares of major markets to offer. So what? If you think you're the Notre Dame of basketball you should make out ok.

But Missouri people shouldnt take this as superiority overall. Missouri is just a more attractive school and state combo all around, mostly by circumstance.

I'm sorry for offending you dude. A wandering jew is a plant. It's not people.

You guys are the dumb ones. Jesus. Sure, I didn't pepper the dry humor with a tell-tale emoticon but I think I've earned, by Laz anway, the benefit of the doubt when it comes to whether I am making a joke or not.

Besides, "Mods?" is a joke that happens with decent regularity around here.

They are pretty easy to find if you're willing to look. And others have used the same numbers - mainly because they are in almost every article written about the B10's wooing of ND.

I have a physical therapy appointment in an hour, so unless you're THAT lazy, you'll have to wait until this afternoon.

In other words you have no source. Thanks.

I know what you mean. I'm the dominant twin, but only because I was born.

No, that's not what he means, at all. Your only dominance is the number of people living in the state. You can look at the all time KU vs MU football and basketball records to see what actual athletic dominance looks like.

No, in other words, I have a life, so you can either look them up yourself, or you can wait.

I'm not sure why the attack on the numbers, they've been used repeatedly by others as well.

You act as if they are made up.
