Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 311

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.

So all this realignment shit doesnt go into affect until the 2011 season?

The BigXII will essentially exist one more year (football, basketball)?

810 caller: Really worried about Big XII b/c my son is going to be a scholarship baseball player, and Big 10 baseball isn't very strong.

KK: How old is your son?

Caller: 15

I saw that and showed it to a coworker who is a ND grad. He didn't know what to make of it...not business as usual.

Hey dipshit you are aware of what your favorite team's mascot is aren't you? It's a direct connection to agriculture...........so why are you taking shots at a school for being strong in agriculture? Did you just take a campus tour in Lincoln with the rents given by someone in a sweater vest or something? The sweater vest doesn't mean your school is refined and cultured and you should be tossing hick references towards a Kansas school. It means the guy giving the tour was gay........nothing more.

I didn't think this was possible, but you've managed to do another double down on stupid. Thought you were just about maxed out.

JFC dude your mascot wears coveralls and you're cracking hick jokes?

Your labia bruises that easy?
