Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 424

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.

One has to wonder how they're going to pay that when they couldn't afford Hawkins' $3mm buyout.

I'm pretty sure that this is withheld income. CU won't be writing a check they just won't get paid as much next year.

Beebe is taking questions now on 810.

So shouldn't the same penalty apply for NU? That would be $12-$16 million split 10 ways.

No word on what Nebraska will be paying yet, but I assume they'll pay the same penalty CU does.

Beebe said that the 5 schools that were going to be left out were willing to give that money to Texas, Oklahoma and aTm. There are still things to be worked out but those three schools could get all that money.

Okay, I hope you're kidding.

Nope. It could change when they sit down and talk about it but that was part of what those 5 were using to try and keep the others in the conference.

That's stupid, they were never going to leave anyway.

It does sound from the teleconference that even though revenue sharing will not be equal it is based on how many times your school is on TV. So if you get better than you get more money.

Gotta love watching MU bid against itself, eh?

And yes, Alden and Deaton will get a raise for this.
