Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 248

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.

In all seriousness, if he went anywhere IMO, it would be Oklahoma State.

well, the NCAA won't have much say when it comes down to it.

I can't believe I'm even posting this.

This is the latest, best-sourced info I've heard. I still wouldn't speculate too much, though, as it seems to change by the hour.

It's amazing how much people know when they don't know.

No chance. At some point, I think he tries his hand at the NBA.

We really should rename this thread. This has been a great place to come, talk, post stories, etc. Now that all of these other schools are getting involved, there will be all kinds of threads to keep up with full of people repeating themselves. I like getting on and knowing I can come here to read back and find out the latest happenings. JMO

Bambi · 06-10-2010, 02:42 PM

At least take off "Mizzou to the Big 10"

You know, I had never of Chip Brown prior to a couple of days ago, but now I really hope he runs into the AIDS tree and drowns in a pool of antifreeze.

Nebraska fans are the Bronco fans of College Football.

I'd look forward to watching the Hawkeyes beat the Tiggers until the candy comes out on a regular basis....It'd be like another warmup game.
