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.. |

I think Iowa/Nebraska could become a great rivalry if indeed this does pan out.

Yeah, most likely. I guess I just want some attempt made to salvage the Big XII instead of waiting to get chosen like streetside whores.

BWillie seems like a nice guy and everything. But in addition to that it seems like he is always wrong or just generally misinformed.

It really depends on how you frame it. Iowa's on quite a nice little run right now. Ferentz has built a very good program that not only competes in the Big Ten but also wins bowl games. Pelini is bringing Nebraska back on the upswing and certainly they have far more tradition and championship history than the Hawkeyes ever will have. But I think the two teams would be pretty evenly matched with a slight edge to the Hawkeyes THIS year. But that could change, of course.

Oh, sorry, I must have forgot about all the conference and national championships Iowa has won in the last 10 yrs. And it was pretty funny when NU beat KU 36 years in a row.

Possibly, but that doesn't add a market.

Then again, the Big Ten could go with a North/South distinction too. |
