Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 291

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.

Freudian slip?

damn it. Luv changed it before i could comment too.

**luv** · 06-11-2010, 12:23 PM

Oops. No, that would be my insufficient typing skills and lack of attention to detail. Two things I should probably work on.

I hate, I mean HATE, to do this.

But there is {sigh} a guy on Tigerboard that has been swearing for a couple of days now that this was exactly how it was going to go down, with NEB delaying an announcement until after MU's BOC had it's meeting and approved a move as well.

Please remember that I don't think anyone knows shit about shit, but it's been intriguing to watch him stick to this story that is so far developing as he's said it would.

Eh ****it, I'm still pleding allegience to my new insect overlords, Conference USA.

While that was(n't) racist, it's also inaccurate. The Big 12 is still the Big 12. In the same way the Big 10 is still the Big 10 (and has been for a few years now).

The Big12 has ten teams and the Big10 has twelve teams

Okay. But if this keeps up the word "Big" will have to go.

By BLAIR KERKHOFF

LINCOLN, Neb. | The University of Nebraska has accepted an offer to join the Big Ten Conference, The Kansas City Star has learned.

Late Friday morning, Nebraska officials contacted the Big 12 office, informing the league of its decision. Nebraska will become the 12th member of the Big Ten.

Nebraska hasn't announced shit yet. When they do I'll believe it.

Same guy that nobody's heard of.

I'm pretty sure he's completely full of shit and has come up with a damn good set of background facts for th hoax (the Big10 lawyer is a good one), but we shall see.

Just ignore the fact that I mentioned it.
