Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 297

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.

Maybe the Kstate Wyoming game will be the game of the week on Versus?

****ing hilarious listening to Dr. Tom "partial qualifiers" Osborne talk about academics.

It's obvious that NU made this move in order to compete better in Baseball and Soccer. They will RULE the B11

Nebraska just threw your school/athletic program/director under the bus - right where they belong. Deal with it.

Only the finest academic institution is where you find the likes of Lawrence Phillips and Christian Peter.

Now they are going to suck because they won't be able to recruit, and will have tougher competition.

Of course the coaches want to cut tail and run, they can't win in the current conference.
