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.. |

I think it only makes sense with all the focus on football to at least have one conference that is all about basketball but still tied into the BCS system.

I know. We've went over this many times back and forth on here but the Denver market is only a smidge bigger than the KC market. It's only 400,000 people more. And nobody cares about college sports there.

Colorado is a better academic institution than KU (and MU), so if things are about equal this would definitely push things over the top.

That is a good point. In this day and age, it doesn't seem like most conferences even care anymore. Look at the SEC. You can be a reerun and get into those schools.

Not sure why you all are mad. If the MWC gets KU, KSU, and MU it instantly becomes a power conference. It's already the best mid major football and basketball conference. |
