Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 398

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.

No, USC at least 5 years away from returning to contending in the Pac 10, look at who is their HC.

CU's invitation was independent of Texas' invitation, every other schools' was conditional on a Texas acceptance.

And is CU better off now that the DEAL is DONE in the B12, err...a 10, 12 - 2 , whatever ?

No..... CU will compete in a mediocre Pac 10, The Ducks should reign for a while, maybe AZ or ASU.

Again, CU was leaving the Big XII. They weren't staying no matter what Texas or whoever pitched to them.

Yes, CU feels it's in a better situation, that's why they moved. It's where the football team recruits, and it's where the bulk of their out-of-state alumni are.

This had nothing to do with assuming Texas was going with, or it would become a Pac 16. There's a reason why TT, OU, or OSU aren't going to the Pac 10 right now and are trying to save the Big 12, 10, or whatever, it's because they aren't getting invites unless Texas goes too.

Yeah CU used to have some solid teams. When I lived there they were tough when the team wasn't busy knocking up the coach's daughter. CU seems like much more of a P10 than a B12 school to me, alway have.

Yep, CU didn't want to live as second-class citizens chugging UT cock whenever they were told to do so.
That feeling goes deep in Colorado.
When I lived there the popular bumpersticker was "Go Back To Texas and take a Californian with You"
Boulder is WAY more Pac10 than they ever were B12.
