Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 275

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.

Nah thats great **** the Big XII.

Shouldn't have expanded the Big 8 to begin with. I didn't see any problems with Big 8 to begin with anyways.

If this thread has shown one thing, it's that he has a lot of "different" definitions.

Using what criteria?

I tend to agree. If he's not a mult, he's definitely reduced himself to just trolling.

I joined because I think the Chiefs are finally going to be a decent for the first time in a decade.

And this thread has been one of the most informative, up to date places for info on this realignment business on the internet.

I'm not a troll.

I've got posts on www.themikefrancesa.com as (Talk to me in August) and www.kusports.com as (Wickedson). These can be my references.

At least Gill's still landing some recruits.

Olathe North High junior Victor Simmons has committed to Kansas, according to Rivals.com.

Simmons, who will be a senior in 2010, helped lead Olathe North to the 2009 Class 6A state football title and played most of his snaps as the Eagles’ quarterback. In doing so, he rushed for 1,000 yards. However, most of the schools that recruited him see his future on defense. Simmons, 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, played some safety for O-North and finished 2009 with 25 tackles.

Simmons chose Kansas over Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska.

We've had some great season.

It's nice having a rich tradition in MBB. Makes for a long fall and early winter, but we are usually talking basketball during those seasons anyway.

I personally can't wait to find out where KU lands. SEC, Big East, etc... I only hope that KSU, MU and ISU are along for the ride. I'd like to keep the traditions going strong!

You joined in Oct 2008 because you knew then that the Chiefs were finally going to be decent this year?

JFC, you're a walking contradiction.

Haven't you also posted on Royalboard, particularly last year that if the Royals traded Greinke they'd only receive 2-3 Class A-ball prospects?
