Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 241

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.

I currently get about 2-3 KState games on TV down here a year. I'm slowly coming to the realization I will never see them on TV again.

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

Pac 10 is doing all they can to stay strong.

These sanctions against USC are a lot more important than anyone is realizing.

The Pac 10 is fighting to grow bigger so it's negative impact is minimal.

Not quite yet, I don't think. When OSU bolts for the Pac10, that will put them at 12 teams. I think the Big10 holds fast until at least two more jump over.

I do want to go on Record, saying that I hope that MU gets a Big Ten invite and that KU and KSU go to the Big ACC Leftovers or SEC.

I want all three teams to keep on being awesome and relevant.

It would suck for one or more of us to get hosed.

The only teams from the Big XII that the SEC would consider are Texas & Texas A&M. They don't want KU or K-State.

Unless ku moves to the Big East or ACC, yes.

What's MU going to do?

There are zero CBB teams that can survive as an independent.
