Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 468

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.

Thankfully Harvey Perlman has a somewhat finer grasp on the legalities. Although I'm sure this would sound fabulous in court.

Billay should start his own big 10 thread... As far as I am concerned, NU and CU can go and play this year in their new conferences.

Why would you want to hang around with former big 12 fans and act like we still care about your school?

Exactly KSU, KU and MU fans no longer give a shit about Nebraska.

Alot Nebraska fans will still care about KU football due to Turner Gill being the coach there.

Anything new and worthy, or is "Piss-Fest 2010" simply providing mildly entertaining uselessness still?

I would also add that while UT has more money than NU, the margin isn't a huge amount.

Yep, everyone left because of Nebraska. They are so great.

Ok, I have tried to catch up from being gone a few days, we gained about 2,000 posts and a lot of bickering.

Can someone give me the short version, as to where the Big 12 is at now, and what their plans are?

the big 12 is now the Big 10 sans Colorado and Nebraska

to significantly suck off of Texas,OU,Texas A&M ... all the other teams will take less money and not take any of the penalty money for CU and NU leaving the conference.

no championship game because of only 10 teams unless a special petition goes to the NCAA.

TExas can have their own t.v. network and not share any of the money

basically everyone bent over and let Texas stick their penis up their bungholes so that they would stay in the conference.

Hemi,

Everyone is making more money now, and the conference is stronger. Don't let this blowhard recap what happened.

Thanks much for the update. So the Big 8 traded CU and Nebraska for Baylor, aTm, TTech and Texas.

They will just about have to play each team when the schedules are set up for the 10 teams, correct?

Or will it be a rotational schedule, so they can still put some cupcakes and other rivalries on the docket?

The conference was on life support. Beebe managed to put together enough $ to get everybody back at the table.
UT didn't want to look like the bad guy in breaking up the conference and severing ties with aTm, who was threatening to go to the SEC.

As a result of the $, which is a combination of revenue disbursements that WOULD have gone to UNL and CU and the ESPN/ABC contract. (20-40 mill according some reports), The Island Of Misfit ~~Toys~~ Universities (who had no offers) agreed to allow that money to be given to UT, aTm and OU. In return the TV contract will pay them up to 10mil more per fiscal year than they are getting now.

So yea, TIOMU's kinda gave up some money (that they never really had) but in return they appear to have at least 5 years of conference stability, as that is when the next ESPN/ABC contract will be negotiated (2016).
