Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 342

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.

I have a tough time seeing teams like Wyoming, Air Force, Colorado State, SDSU, and New Mexico being in the Big 12. That is just flabbergasting. I like it though. I would be happy with this scenario, no matter how much everyone here won't like the idea of it.

I feel the same way about the MWC from a Mizzou vantage point.

I'd rather not be involved in collegiate sports all-together. Become only an academic institution and work to build up the reputation in this respect.

**the Talking Can** · 06-13-2010, 08:33 AM

at this point, i'm hoping (praying) that ku can sneak into the pac-10 with UT thanks to a&M going to the sec...we'd keep the big 12 flavor and travel

KU needs to be with UT for money and for access to texas recruiting....

after that, it gets seriously less appealing in order:

big east

stay in the big 12: any big 12 without UT is worthless...and I'll shoot my face off if KU is in a conference with colorado st., sdsu, montana....or whatever else type of irrelevant trash our worthless admins come up with...

i don't think the big 10 or acc are options...

Networks. s.

Welcome to the Texas Network, which is exactly why I've thought TX to the PAC-10 was dubious.

WilliamTheIrish · 06-13-2010, 09:17 AM

If it means 17 mil per I'd take the option.

WilliamTheIrish · 06-13-2010, 09:22 AM

This is my dream scenario.

At this point, more than anything else, I want to go shopping at the Basketball Practice Facility store pick out something really nice, and slap down Nebraska and Colorado's AmEx and say, "It's on them".

Take the deal Big XII

FedEx CEO Fred Smith has spoken to various conference officials and made it known that his Memphis-based company could provide millions of dollars -- perhaps as much as $10 million annually -- to a BCS-affiliated league willing to offer an invitation to the University of Memphis, multiple sources close to the Memphis program have told CBSSports.com.

Yes. Do this.

WilliamTheIrish · 06-13-2010, 10:01 AM

And after Harvey's/ Osborne's display in the PC wouldn't it be hilarious to watch UT cash their penalty check?

Memphis should be part of something... I'd take them in a newly revamped Big 12.

Nothing will ever be as hilarious as the butthurt displayed in this thread by the KSU fans. I know it just kills you guys that even with as mediocre as NU has been lately, they are still light years ahead of your backwards ass redneck school as far as national relevance goes.
