Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 189

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.

He has sources, I'm not sure he mentioned them. The worst part is that since 7 teams are leaving the Big 12 there's very little recourse the other 5 teams have since it essentially dissolves the Big 12. He did say he knew they were scrambling in Columbia. I'm sure he has sources there.

His scenario (from his sources) is that this has been a Big 10/Pac 10 football power power-grab all along. Nebraska to the Big Ten and the Pac 10 gets the Texas/Oklahoma teams. ND still seems to be in the mix and if they join the Big 10 Nebraska may be out.

Take if for what it's worth.

KK is basically repeating the post from tigerboard that waa reported here a couple of pages back.

My being better than him has absolutely nothing to do with where we went to school.

Oh yeah, 100% agreed. I've said it multiple times. They're both charlatans praying on the stupid. At least KK doesn't charge for his garbage.

well if just one left, and the Texas schools all stayed you could fill Nebraska's spot with BYU or someone like that

Yes, he identified his sources on this matter...

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Dan Beebe at Reverse last night.

Here is my list

1. Oklahoma
2. Notre Dame
3. Ohio State
4. USC
5. Nebraska

Oklahoma #1? What? If we're talking historically, I'd put both Notre Dame & Alabama ahead of OU, ohio state, and Nebraska.
