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.. |

Ultimately, the Pac-10 is going to look pretty ****ing stupid.
They'll add two teams, Colorado and Utah, that cost more in revenue sharing than they bring to the table. Congrats. |

That's pretty funny.
I know you've enjoyed playing Julie McCoy to Nebraska, welcoming them to the conference like it's some dainty little tea party. It isn't. Nebraska has more money, more name recognition, was on the rise anyway, and this little coup they just pulled has done nothing but make it all that much better. Everything Iowa has, they're going to take. Forcibly. Top recruits, top bowl bids, and most importantly, games. When they're digging your battered players out of the turf of Memorial Stadium, I'm betting you'll wish they were still in the Big XII. Enjoy. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. |

Yeah, there really isn't any other conference out there that has one earning maker that much higher than everybody else. Texas is by far and away the highest earning university in the nation when it comes to athletic department revenue. 17 million to stay in the conference is OK w/ me. Although I would prefer a Big 12/Big East merger someday w/out Texas so they don't have as much control over the conference as a whole.

I don't think KU would be making as much if they went to the PAC-10. Riding Texas' coattails gives everyone involved more (including Nebraska), I guess we're all Texas' slaves in that regard? I don't have any issues with that.

I live in AZ, get to CA several times a year. The attitude toward the midwest is the same here as in CA.
