Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 176

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.

No. You don't.

Dude, you have crossed over into true BEASTMODE!

I love how the MU fans feel that MU football "has arrived". Yes, you are better now then you have been in a long time and I give you props. But you're no better than KU. And if KU does end up in the MWC playing with teams like Boise St., TCU, and Utah something tells me they will have no trouble playing MU year in and year out with equal talent levels...

Missouri Football

All-time record 612–512–52 (.543)
Bowl record 12–15–0 (Most recently loss to Service Academy )Navy 35-13

I hear Evansville, IN and Carbondale, IL are great places to visit.

Seriously, if this does happen, good luck. No one seems to be talking about ISU's place in all of this.

This Big 12 commish we get tarred and feathered now. Most likely the remaining 4 go where they can. I hope they don't try to get a new 8 to join as i don't think they could draw the right teams. Plus the conference would need a new commish and Carl Peterson is looking for a job and is buddies with Perkins.

Don't worry dude.

Texas is not going to the Pac-10.

If Nebraska leaves they will move OU to the North and pick up another school (TCU).

Doesn't matter if Missouri stays or leaves.

Thanks.

Big rebound last year in FB hiring Paul RHoades. Chizdick brought in excitement and money to the program but thankfully Auburn did ISU a favor there. Rhoades may not ever be great but last year was a big turn around and he has the exp at Pitt and Auburn as a DC that helps recruiting and made a good hire in Bearnum as his DC from S. Fla. and the young kid from Rice as OC. Mens BB is obviously in shambles and rebuilding w/ Fred Hoiberg. He kept his best recruiter TJ Otzelburger who held on to all the good recuits. The scuttlebutt is former UNC Charlotte HC Bobby Lutz will join the staff too so that will be huge for a guy in Hoibergs shoes and hardly no exp. They ponied up to keep a VB coach and Bill Fennelly as WBB coach stays but those types of coaches take a hike if they join a conference that doesn't generate the money to pay them. Not to mention recruiting.

Sign of the times i guess. Can't say this has shit to do with student athletes. ISU is always a top 10 Engineering/Ag school but doesn't draw the TV market or prestige thats for sure.

I still have porn though.

I don't mind the athletics aspect of it. Shit happens. They are one of the top schools in the country though and will lose money not being part of the big 12 conference and it will hurt the economy which is already hurting.

How many schools in the MVC even play football? I know Creighton doesn't.

LetsSignRussell · 06-08-2010, 11:15 PM

i think wichita state won the national title last year.

Frazod · 06-08-2010, 11:16 PM

Just from a football standpoint, would it really be that horrible for Iowa State to go to a smaller conference? I'm not trying to be a dick here, but generally you guys get nuked by pretty much everybody every year. Wouldn't it be better to play in a conference where you're competitive?

If college sports were fair, there would be a Super Conference for programs like Texas, Florida, USC, etc. and the one who sucks the peniss would just play each other and leave the rest of us alone. God, I'd love that. Seriously, what business does a school with a $150 million sports budget have playing in the same conference with a school that has a $40 million sports budget? Yeah, that's fair.
