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.. |

EAST Connecticut Pittsburgh Rutgers South Florida Syracuse West Virginia WEST Cincinnati Iowa State Kansas Kansas State Louisville Missouri Not a very sexy group but better than a non-BCS conference for sure. |

If we don't end up in the Big Ten, SEC, or Pac-10, it will be a disaster for the university (and yes, I realize there are no real rumors on the last two right now). |

Kind of a double edged sword. But basketball would be insane. Recruiting would pick up for all three locals on the East coast. |

Losing TX would be a killer, hopefully we would see recruiting pick up in Ohio, Pennsylvannia and possibly Florida.

What about Arizona and Villanova? "Wildcarts" is not a very unique mascot.

You're an incredibly naive douche. Me listing KU with a much higher Law school ranking in Florida does not equate to cherry picking. While Education is an important area, I don't value it near as much as Engineering or Medicine.
