Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 236

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.

Supposedly Berkley was against then because they're a Baptist institution as well, I read somewhere.

doubt it, unless somebody else gets left out. a 17 team conference doesn't really work.

Yeah. That's what I took a quick glance at. I reread it though.

no Baylor, no Texas if the lawmakers in Texasland have anything to do with it.

i've never understood this reasoning here. i understand that the three public schools are linked, but why is Baylor?

and i don't think UT will ever let A&M join the SEC. if they're in a different conference, it opens up a whole new recruiting ground for the SEC.

The only push for Baylor to be included is being made by Baylor.

You truly are a hypersensitive pussy.

As best I can tell, there's not a MU fan in this thread that isn't sweating right alongside the poor persecuted Beakers.

So with the CU announcement and the probable impending announcement of OSU (and 4 others), does the Big 10 act now and start handing out 5 invites to form their own 16 team conference?

It seems like they are going to want to do this before other conferences start to poach unaffiliated teams and they run out of choices or enough teams to make up a 16 team super-conference to rival Pac-16 beast that will soon emerge.

Side note:

With all of the USC shit hitting the fan, this is the perfect time for a power house like Texas to come into the Pac-10/16 and rip away prospects/recruits and kick the shit out of some teams.
