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.. |

We know in basketball it definitely did & I think playing each other every year in football will make it better too...hate losing Nebraska because they'd been around since the beginning with MU & KU but they chose to abandon ship.

Wait, when did T. Boone "transform" OSU athletics? Does the writer mean that Pickens helped finance new buildings? Because other than this, OSU is still a sack.
And they're competing with Iowa State, sorry Rust, for "most prestigious" university in the conference. |

If the kids don't walk first...... time will tell. USC has to walk a tight rope, how is that possible in Hollywood where the finest players are bought and paid ?
As I said, time will tell. Soon Mecca will be here to contest this very topic.

"The Big 12 is a great league that just got better," Martin said. "... Having a lot of teams doesn't necessarily make a power league, because you've got a huge discrepancy between the top-tier teams and the lower-tier teams. Our league right now is pretty evenly matched 1-10."
By the way, Martin's thoughts on Nebraska and Colorado: "I don't care about them." Read more: http://campuscorner.kansascity...7#ixzz0qsuiajOA |
