Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 425

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.

Money aside 9 conference games in football and 18 in basketball is going to be awesome.

Is there word on whether or not Dodds was able to keep from laughing while at the negotiating table?

Yep... KU (and I believe ISU) will no longer have 2 years of OU/Tex/Tech followed by 2 years of A&M/Baylor/OSU, which was basically a 1 game disadvantage or advantage depending on the year. The home & home against Texas in BB will be great, too.

The three (Texas, A&M, OU) will get all the buyout money. At least now we know the pecking order.

If there's no football championship, anyone want to bet that the basketball championship site will NOT move from KC to Dallas? New conference = new negotiations.

ISU played OU and Texas every other year. This year we play them on the road back to back weeks.

Man, this is just wrong in all aspects.

WOW, if so I guess the universities that did this shouldn't be pecksniffian about it.

Hey UT, OU & aTm schools .....

Humiliation upon humiliation, and the pussies in charge do nothing.

I couldn't be more ashamed right now. I think I'm going to be sick.

Ha, pathetic.

I guess that's all the evidence we need to see that there were no hints of other conference offers.

**Saulbadguy** · 06-15-2010, 11:14 AM

Yep, still better than the alternative.
