Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 257

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.

You'd have no fans left to hate; because there would be mass suicides if Self left.

C'mon KSU friends...they last thing you want is Self leaving. Then we'll just steal Martin away. You don't want that.

**DeezNutz** · 06-10-2010, 05:23 PM

You think KU will go after Calipari?

One would think that KU would have better aspirations than an exiled High School coach.

Well, since the MVC is sorta like High School+; I think we'll be fine with him.

Bill Self leaves, my soul will be crushed beyond repair.

I'm an asshole and not even I would want Self to leave after all this.

Calipari isn't going anywhere except to the NBA when the call comes. I think we'd go for Turg.
