Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 386

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.

Some of the North schools are quite content, apparently, to play Ginger to Texas's Lester Diamond.

Where are you at? Tell me where you're at.
I'm here, baby! I've always been here.

Some of Iowa States best recruites this year were from states we didn't play in this year... Your coaches don't suddenly loose their recruiting ties when they switch conferences..

Whatever happens, I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that it won't be good. I have no faith whatsover in MU's management, and believe that they will be unable to get us a fair deal anywhere. As I said earlier, these reeruns couldn't sell C4 to terrorists.

Maybe they'll surprise me. But they haven't yet.

so now that we're putting a Band-Aid on this gunshot wound, the North schools have a little more time to figure out a solid landing spot. maybe this time they'll keep their mouths shut.

Why whateva' do you mean? Did you not see the article suggesting if UT stays they will demand a larger cut of the $ and rights to their own network?

Texas runs the show and they pay us pretty well to pick the cotton. I'll take that (un)certainty for another 5 years. On top of that, the Cats have no issues when it comes to puching the fuckers in the mouth.

KU's best option is to stick with UT, as much as people might hate it. It's been that way since the beginning of this nonsense.

There is no better option out there compared to the Big 12 and sticking with Texas, as far as I can tell.

Is there any lithium in the Flint Hills? I bet we could become a much bigger player if we found some lithium there!

Yeah, they have the same offer from the Pac-10 that MU has from the Big-10.

I've definitely got that part down.

In hindsight, how the hell could any of us have actually believed it? ESPN REPORTS THAT CHARLIE BROWN IS ABOUT TO KICK THE FOOTBALL! Yeah, sure he is.
