Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 131

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 lived at home when I went to SMS. Of course, I lived on Cherry on the other side of Glenstone, so it's not like I had far to go.

Missouri's curators meet Thursday and Friday.
Nebraska's board of regents meets Friday.
In addition, Chip Brown has reported that Notre Dame could be "on the clock" with the Big Ten.
Things are happening fast...June 15th is getting closer.

Behind closed doors at the Big 12's annual meetings, the boys got together to hash out the topics of the day. You know...important things like where we're going to hold the Women's Basketball tournament for the next three years.

That's funny stuff right there

Ah. I went in the fall of '95. Didn't last a semester, though.

6. Kansas becomes a LeBron-like free agent.
One of the great mysteries amid the ongoing Pac-16 speculation is what will become of Kansas, which, while not necessarily a football power, has a huge alumni base, sits in a decent TV market and, most notably, boats one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs. It's seems hard to believe the Jayhawks will fade into the wilderness.
Kansas has pledged its loyalty to the Big 12, but if the league implodes, who's to say the Big Ten wouldn't couple KU with Missouri? For all we know, Jim Delany prefers the Jayhawks. If not the Big Ten, what about the basketball-centric Big East, which knows no geographic bounds (see: Marquette)? It could be that KU can't go anywhere without K-State, thus diminishing its appeal, but if not, another major program could be changing major conferences.

A little brighter take on what could happen to Kansas.

I don't mean to "boat," but I'm pretty sure that Lew Perkins wrote that blurb. "Who is to say that they haven't called us?!?"

Um...KU's chancellor calling Nebraska and Missouri is our first tell.

I guess even SI has editing issues.

UTSA and Texas State are going D1 in the next few years... They'll suck for a while, but could they figure in?

North:
OU
OSU
ISU

KSU
KU

South:
