Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 155

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.

If this is true the question becomes has MU burnt it's bridges with all their pandering to the Big 10. I'd probably say they'd still be let in.

Sounds like a bunch of bullshit....

but

I guess that kind of makes sense. ****ing Murdoch probably wants a piece of college sports for Fox to counter NBC and TBN. I still don't think that's going to mean anything to MU or NU. I know I'd be saying **** all that if KU was in position to leave for the B10.

Makes me wonder if I can " GOOGLE" " ( MBC)Make Believe Championships and find MU in there somewhere ?

Ouch, that might scar me for life, seeing as how I'm not a Mizzou fan.

Exactly the response I'd expect from the d-bag KU fan. Here you go, Metro, you can throw this one on the list.

Someone states a fact about KU basketball that doesn't sit well, and the attack on MU starts.

Nope, no butthurt here. Move along. Nothing to see here.

I think you come off as an MU fan and considering that ROY isn't known to pay 100% attention to any given thread, I can see why he would assume that.

And there are a LOT of people that DO agree with that logic, because there is no tournament.

CFB shouldn't get a pass when CBB was smart enough to realize a tournament or playoff is a better indicator of a champion than a ****ing vote.

And I am pretty sure alot of teamwork would have to happen to agree to a new contract. And these teams dont want to work together anymore.

Texas would want too much of it.

And an invitation from the Big 10 to Missouri and Nebraska would end this "fat TV contract" stuff.

The Big 12 holds no cards - none.

If the Big 10 offers MU and NEB, turn out the lights. Even if the conference survives 2010, Texas will still want its own network to stick around and it will continue to dominate the league until the other 10 teams decide they can do better.

Just keep hoping ND saves you all because it's all you have left.

**** it. Imagine a Fox Game of the Week in addition to ABC's?

I'd almost say it's too much but I love college football.

Maybee Texas would wise up and realize that if they don't share voluntarily they will be forced to.
