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.. |

You're so dramatic. No need to get permission from me. This will be my last post on the issue but if you are just ever curious as to why you seem to have "knock down drag outs" (I am trying to use some dramatic language to refer to a petty internet spat, trying to take this to your level) with every person you run into on this board. It might be because the anger than is in most of your posts is totally unnecessary and says a lot more about you than the person is directed at. All the best of luck with that man. |

You know what, I'll do both of us a favor. In the last 6 or however many years it's been, I've never seen a use for the ignore feature, but I'll give it a shot now. This way, I won't accidentally hurt your feelings again, or if I do, I'll at least be blissfully ignorant of your rage. I don't do "fake ignores". Not that you probably care, but good-bye.

Now the reason I opened the thread...
http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/201...usspor00000002 Probably a long shot, but who knows. This article describes Notre Dame's poor position these days, having to go undefeated to get to the championship game, not getting a full share when it reaches a bowl, etc. If Notre Dame is convinced that the Big 10 will force them in (by expanding to 16) if they don't join now, then the Irish could possibly put an end to this silliness soon.

Hey you KU and MU fans take it outside. haha!
So does it sound to anyone else think ND holds all the cards in college football right now? If they choose to join the Big 10 and say they will only join under the condition that they stop with that one invite, then NU and MU could be stuck with the Big 12? Gotta admit as a KSU fan, I am really pulling for that to happen. You know since all of our eggs are in the Big 12 basket. Go Irish!!!! |

You know, it's not like I've never read some of your posts and sat back and wondered "Gee, what's his ****ing problem?" I just never call you on it because I thought we were friends. But if that's not the case, well, I won't lose any sleep over it. |

I think ya'all are too tense this morning.
Coffee has been helping with my morning grouchiness. |
