Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 438

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.

Mizzou also has to replace the rock M at our stadium with a rock longhorn. We also volunteered to give the columns at the quad to UT, you know, as a thank you for them sticking around with us jerks. We will now be paying rent on those every month to the state of Texas.

Not accurate. The columns have actually been rededicated in honor of the institutions that support us:

Texas
A&M
OU
Texas Tech
OSU
Baylor (because Texas told us to include them)

Is the new Big 12-2 going to be closer to a feudal or caste system?

Feudal. Some of the "second tier" teams have been fooled into believing otherwise, but there is only one lord in this manor.

and yet we still stand to make about as much as NU will in the Big 10, PLUS we don't have to have Mom sow new patches on our uniforms.

Plus it will be nice not to have NU invade your stadium.

Yeah, the BO and fat chicks will be a nice addition by subtraction.

We also won't have to worry about being pelted by a variety of debris whenever a ref blows his whistle in Boulder.

Nebraska has no chance in the Big Ten?

I know
K-state fans quit watching football once the team sucked again but this is absurd.
