Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment
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. http://www.wndu.com/sports/headlines/92447574.html Last edited by Mr. Laz; 06-10-2010 at 02:57 PM.. |

Having said all that, I have no illusions over exactly how far that's going to take us when discussing this new realignment party, which is nowhere.

UNC Kentucky Duke KU UCLA When Krysishlaskjkaska;lksdjki retires, I think KU and UCLA can go ahead of Duke, who might fall back even more spots. |

Why would you put UNC above UK when UK has more wins and more championships? Because Jordan went there?

UNC has simply been one of the most consistent and remains the gold standard. And, yes, I realize Smith went through a long drought before winning his first championship. |

In my opinion, you can't separate those programs in a meaningful way. It's like a "rank the greatest QBs" question.
Everyone seems to realize basketball has little to do with survivng the great BCS cataclysm of 2010. Posted via Mobile Device |

Oh noes, I've just been informed that KU fans claim 5 Championships, 2 of them being "Helms Athletic Association" champions.
I confirmed this by Googling "mythical national championships." ![]() Thank God for 1922 and 1923. But wait, UNC has one of these Mythical National Championships as well. Which gives them 6. Oh, if only Duke had won one of these Mythical Championships! Look out for Wisconsin, who's right on your heels with 3 Mythicals and a Real Championship. Just one behind. |
