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.. |

Look, the Big 10 is no SEC. But Big 12 fans that think the Big 12 is by far and better than the Big 10 are mistaken. They are both good football conferences. The Big 10 is a much deeper conference than the Pac 10 even. Sure USC usually helps the Pac 10 out alot, but w/out USC that is a pretty shitty football conference. Except for last year, USC has easily been the best football team in the last decade and usually the Big 10 gets the unfortunate duty of playing them in their bowl game. |

Oh well, it's not like Nebraska has beat a ranked team since...well...the 90s, so they'll fit right in.

Yep, 1995 was good for KU. Kinda odd that the final year of the Big 8 was one of its finest, IIRC 4 of the 8 teams finished in the top 10 that year.

If you think Suh was the defense last year you are mistaken. This years defense has two first round picks. Plus Nebraskas secondary was the most underrated secondary last year with a walk on safety a converted Jr college linebacker. I predict PJ Smith will be better then Asante and O'Hanlon.

What? I think Suh was a special player but he wasn't the whole defense. If the Dtackles can get some penetration and I see no reason they can't the defense will be fine. The linebackers were young last year and sucked i'm hoping they get better this year with more experience.
