Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 222

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.

Yes. He was the one Reggie Bush tried to lateral it to during the Rose Bowl.

He has some comedy gold in this thread.

Well are the sanctions against the football team due to all the athletic dept violations?

Or just what the football team did?

He was pretty right on about MU being left holding their own dick, like they are.

The basketball team is getting separate sanctions..

I expected 10 scholarships and maybe a post season ban 1 year, this is rather ridiculous.

I don't have a horse in this KU MU thing but to watch KU fans say "look MU sucks" for possibly being in the same spot they are is really moronic.

What is this argument now that if Missouri doesn't get a big 10 offer they're as pathetic as KU?

It's become pretty obvious that facts don't mean much around here.

No one's been jumping on MU after it's becoming obvious they aren't getting an invite.

Please don't try and start it.

We're all pretty nervous about what's going to happen with the Big 12 North minus Nebraska.

I think most likely Tex stays, TCU gets added, and OU moves to the North. But my theory is about as worthless as everyone elses.

I just never thought that MU fit in academically with the Big 10. Neither does Nebraska, neither does KU. Neb is perhaps getting an invite because they are a national brand I suppose, but now after reading that last "report" it seems like Neb to the Big 10 is not a finished deal either.

But nothing would surprise me at this point.

They're being looked at as repeat violators since they were also sanctioned in 2001.

It's called lack of institutional control. All these penalties will stick.

And we don't know that MU is left holding their dick, either. That is as much speculation as anything.
