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.. |

did Alden just say that "mizzou has never been looking to entertain moving to another conference and it's always been about staying in the Big 12"?

haha...Alden, in his little presser earlier, said that if Nebraska leaving is true, it would impact us as a league like Colorado leaving impacted the league.

But seriously.
What the **** just happened? Joe Montana saw Leonard Marshall better than I saw that coming. **** you very much, Tom Osborne. You doddering old ****stick, I hope you're a ****ing corpse before Nebraska ever sees the Big Whatever.

Actually, we are now the new Big 10. Do we get the network too?

Yeah, pretty soon we will be the Big 8 again. Then the old Big 6.

Stupid Question:
The ticker on espn said NU hopes to begin conference play by 2011... Does this conference realignment go into affect after this coming season? Will NU still play a BigXII schedule?
