Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 180

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 am starving for actual news.

Report: ND, BC add six games

Notre Dame and Boston College won't end the "Holy War" just yet.
The schools have agreed to extend their rivalry until at least 2019, the Boston Herald reported on Tuesday.

The matchup was scheduled to end this fall, but six games have been added to the rivalry. Boston College will host the game Oct. 2 and then three new games in 2012, 2015 and 2019.

The game will be played in South Bend, Ind., in 2011, 2016 and 2018.

"[ND athletic director] Jack Swarbrick and I agreed that since Boston College and Notre Dame are the only Catholic institutions that play Division 1-A football, we should continue to play each other over a period of years," BC athletic director Gene DeFilippo said, according to the Herald.

Notre Dame leads the series, which began in 1975, 10-9, but the Eagles had won five in a row before the Irish broke through last season.

If I wanted two watch incompetent pigs trying to assert control over something that is beyond their control, I would watch C-SPAN. Thanks for the link, though.

Ugh, nothing good can come from anything out of Brownback's mouth.

healthpellets · 06-09-2010, 09:54 AM

it's up and running now.

just talking about how NEB/MU/KSU/KU are "family" and have a long tradition of competing with each other.

ok, roberts just called my state "Missurah". gtfo.

healthpellets · 06-09-2010, 09:57 AM

brownback: it appears that if NEB stays, then conference integrity will remain...oh, and we want Missouri to stay too...but Nebraska is the linchpin.

roberts: looks as if the first domino that could fall would be Nebraska.

ArrowheadHawk · 06-09-2010, 09:57 AM

They say the Nebraska is the lynchpin. Nothing new here. What exactly are they hoping to accomplish with this circle jerk?
