Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 205

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.

Someone on Huskerboard said Osborne confirmed Nebraska is N. I doubt it these rumors are getting silly.

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

there are...clemson is one i hear the most

KU's problem besides football obviously, is they don't offer anything for recruiting either....

if KU were in some fertile recruiting area that conference wanted access to, then they might overlook the other things...but really ku only has basketball, which ain't much in the economics of this

i gave up worrying about it anyways, it's all above our heads...

I love the idea of Nebraska in the Big Ten. It's a perfect fit, IMO.

Ok. I had to look that up.

"Peening is the process of working a metal's surface to improve its material properties, usually by mechanical means such as hammer blows or by blasting with shot (shot peening). Peening is normally a cold work process (laser peening being a notable exception). It tends to expand the surface of the cold metal, thereby inducing compressive stresses or relieving tensile stresses already present. Peening can also encourage strain hardening of the surface metal."

Mr. Laz · 06-09-2010, 04:36 PM

It's looking like Texas completely sold out the Big 12 North

can we just sell Texas back to mexico?

Better yet, how about renting ... that way mexico can just rag that shit out and leave instead of worry about their deposit.

CaliforniaChief · 06-09-2010, 04:38 PM

I haven't been following the proposals too closely in terms of how they plan to set up the Big Ten. I'm assuming they'd go to the same set-up that the Big XII had with 2 divisions of 6 teams each?

Oh and if Nebraska darts, the Big XII should get on the phone with Texas Christian.

Thanks. I hope the best for MU, KU, and Kstate too. All smack talk aside if it were all these teams leaving Nebraska behind I would be pretty upset.

Are we still speculating, or is there some actual change afoot?

For sake of conversation, who moves to the North?

the Big 12 team doesn't need another Texas school ... they need to add new T.V. markets.
