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.. |

With all this open hostility from Nebraska directed to Mizzou, I'm wondering if its even possible that the Big 10 invites the Tigers now.

My guess is that the rumored Fox TV deal was enough to convince NEB to stay behind if the conference would survive. But if MU were to leave along with Colorado, it would open up fissures that other conferences would start to pick at. Ultimately I don't have any earthly idea why NEB would care about MU unless they really preferred to keep the Big 12 alive. Not my show.

and now he just said NU is more aligned in all respects, ESPECIALLY academically, with the B10.
