Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 202

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.

TigerBoard is a cesspool. RockMNation.com has a lot of discussion over the past 2 pages of articles but isn't a message board by nature. 200+ comment thread on the bottom of page 1 or page 2.

**** Texas, I don't believe a word they said. By saving the Big XII they probably tried to have all the schools move to Texas.

It was Chip Brown from OrangeBloods.com (the Texas sprots website).

He is the same guy who first broke the Pac-10 expansion story. So it's a pretty solid source.

Chip Brown is with orangebloods.com. He has been saying for a long time that if Nebraska leaves Texas will too.
