Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 440

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.

actually, I'd say that it's not that hard for one to GET a doctorate, but to get someone to pay you to USE it is harder. I've me a lot of dumb Dr.s in my life.

Not accurate.

Very difficult to get accepted to a program. Finishing requires MUCH dedication, and therein lies the difficulty.

Getting in the door, however, can be a trick.

let me rephrase that:

One does not need to be perceived as a genius to get a doctorate, only be able to pass the exams and enter a school, and complete the program. This says nothing of your people skills, "street smarts" or perceived intelligence.

Yessir. You're not asking me out are you? Because I like you billay. But not like that. I can't really love somebody who went to UMKC.

Not true. Slinging batteries keeps a man young. It's the new 25.
