Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment
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. http://www.wndu.com/sports/headlines/92447574.html Last edited by Mr. Laz; 06-10-2010 at 02:57 PM.. |

Self said that KU "will be in a BCS conference" and that "there is no other option."

nope. He had no real news, other than saying "we've got some things going on, but I can't talk about that", if that means anything at all from the low level of a head coach. Also said "we'll be in a power conference", but no idea if he is speaking from facts or from hopeful optimism.
Other than that, he was obviously nervous and just gave an honest opinion of the situation from his point of view.

Chiefsplanet takes the best things from the internet and condenses them into pure awesomeness comprised only of the most worthy things. Chiefsplanet is the internet, brah.

This thread is bigger than the Pioli thread.

All I know is all indications are showing NU will become part of the Big 10 tomorrow. But I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a part of me that is still feeling uneasy about this. And I will be royally pissed if Texas somehow weasels their way into the Big 10. Stay the **** out, goat ropers.
