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.. |

But how do you feel about the Nebraska press conference? Doesn't it make you just a little bit embarrassed? |

I just am having trouble being mad at schools or people specifically for this situation.
It just is what it is... It is schools looking out for their best interest and a commish who inherited a broken system but one that each school already agreed to be in. I mean, wtf could he have even done. There are a lot of entities acting in their best interest. I don't think they were acting maliciously. And this is how it is shaking out. |

so, if the Big 12[ten] were to add Louisville and Memphis... that wouldn't suck.

When Tom Osborne came out and took unsolicited shots and the conference and MU in particular, there was no 'looking out for his best interests', it was him being a malicious asshole. When Beebe came out and lobbed bombs at MU, that was malice. I'm having not a single bit of trouble being ****ing livid at a handful of people, schools and states generally.
