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.. |

The Lawrence Journal-World claims they have sources that also confirm that Nebraska is gone.

the sec would jump on clemson and GT most likely if the big 10 was sniffing around...they'd prefer to do nothing, but may not have a choice
i live in sec country, heard a caller today say the sec should take GT and KU because the conference needs better basketball....the hosts agreed.... now, i know, the the sec isn't going after ku...but it will get crazy if the pac 16 is true...

I'm still not buying this Pac 10 nonsense.

That said, there's probably tons of other options they could go to before Kansas.

DanBeebe I feel quite comfortable that the Big 12 will remain intact.

i'm surprised that Texas is willing to go to the PAC-10
PAC-10 must be bending over

I pretty much am, there's too much smoke between the PAC-10 expansion authorization, the ultimatum, and no one really denying it.
In the end, Nebraska will be known as the school which finally killed one of the most successful (on the field) conferences in the country.

You better start praying. There's a source in an ESPN story saying that Mizzou is getting a cold shoulder right now.

I'm not either, if it's just NU leaving.
I'm at 80 posts a page and this thing jumped 4 pages in the time I was at physical therapy. So, I'm catching up - maybe someone can answer this for me... If only NU is leaving, why the **** would Texas want to abandon their sweetheart deal and go to the Pac10? I can't imagine it would be more lucrative there than it would be to just pick up a 12th team to replace NU and just continue to rape the other 11 schools financially, as they are doing now. |
