Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 109

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.

Actually the article online reads:

ideally

big 10 won't make an official offer to MU/Neb because they are waiting for ND.

MU/Neb will be force to make a decision on the Big 12 before they get a concrete offer from the Big 10.

MU/Neb calls the Big 12 bluff and tells them to go get ****ed

Notre Dame decides to join the Big 10

Big 10 tells MU/Neb too bad, so sad

MU/Neb are left out in the cold to die in a fire

everyone in the NCAA points and laughs

Sure-Oz · 06-07-2010, 01:16 PM

Nick Wright is saying that Kansas won't be relevant if the big 12 folds and KU is left out, is that true? Saying that they can be "memphis"...thoughts?

Is it me, or do the KU fans including Fescoe's dumbass drooling that MU will get ****ed over bad in the longrun, even though they are looking out for themselves just like KU would do or any other school. I feel Missouri will be fine.

I love this not relevant talk.

I don't care who the f u c k cares about Kansas. As long as they keep winning titles what does it matter?

Look at Michigan. They've got more fans then anyone and are a huge factor in everything college.

But they suck at everything.

All the schools will be fine...

what do you mean by relevant?

KU is a borderline BCS level conference school

on their own, KU might be able to get into a BCS level Conference

tied to KSU their chances are almost zero

most likely if the Big 12 dissolves KU and KSU end up in a middle tier conference.

Big 12 would probably extend an invitation back to Nebraska after deliberating it a little bit.
