Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 231

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.

Hmm, One thing that's kind of cool in this crisis, is how it has unified the beakers, Murons, and the kitty fans of this board.

But in all seriousness, this chain of events has been insane so far.

Not really. If Mizzou gets their Big 10 invite and KU is relegated to the MWC, the Tigers will be first in line to dance and laugh at KU's misfortune.

Likewise, if the Big 10 decides to grab 4 more schools from the east, an SEC invite for KU unexpectedly comes from out of nowhere, and Mizzou is left twisting in the wind, KU fans will laugh at the Tigers for years.

There is no real unification here, only shared misery and hope that they get out.

There's NO WAY the Pac 10 allows Texas to be the bullies they were in the Big XII.

Not yet. Not officially.

On second thought, it seems as though everything is business as usual around here.

I'll believe that when I see it. I think Texas believes they'll call the shots wherever they go; otherwise they wouldn't be going.

I think it's a dark day for the Pac-Whatever if Texas brings its flunkies and invades. Just like it was a dark day for us when the ruined the Big 8.
