Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 198

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.

However, I think Nebraska will be a force in the Big 10 - they don't have anybody on the level of Texas or Oklahoma.

They are beginging to be built like Ohio State. I'd say they'd have a great chance in the Big Ten.

Does anyone else have difficulty with the idea of Orangebloods.com being the only place making journalistic progress on all of this? Seems like B.S.

I said they were being built like Ohio State. Solid defense, Atheletic QB, focused on the run game. Dumbass.

And BTW if Nebraska is nowhere near Ohio state howcome Nebraska has plucked two of the better recruits from Ohio? Rated ahead of Ohio State last year in recruiting, and both teams are ranked in the pre season top ten.

Well shit, apparently NU only hung 70 on KU once, and that was in 1986. Lots of 50s and 60s along the way though.

Like I give a **** about about internet popularity. But ask anyone for the most part my football takes are respected and since you can't argue with my claims on how Nebraska is being built it says alot.
