Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 111

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.

Football is another story...

Yeah, i'd be a little irritated with that, good thing for basketball though and that tradition. Won't hurt as much.

I disagree. I'm really excited about the possibility of the Big 10 and will be disappointed if that doesn't happen.

Another stupid question since i havent followed shit...lets say all hell breaks loose and there is the split, mu and nebraska move on to big 10. Does that mean everything is new starting this coming year (football and basketball seasons starting..) or the following year?

I don't. If we had to live through the bullshit that is the Big XII to end up in the Big 10 on the other side, it's been an extremely productive 15 or so years.

No doubt athletic $$ and TV viewership are primarily driving this thing, but don't look past the academic benefits.

I'll give you that. We (the original conference members) were sold down the red river.
