Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 474

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.

I thought we already determined that KU would not leave KState behind.

Just wait for it folks...there will be more pissing, moaning, and homoerotic comments but they won't touch the reality of the situation which was each school did what they had to do in this whole ordeal.

how's that answer, Metrodick?

either way don't expect me to drop to my knees and suck longhorn cock because it's not happening. You want to be happy about being a foot-shuffling porter ... go ahead.

that's just reeruned

the big east......facepalm my life..who in the **** was ku football going to recruit to play in the shitty, and far away football conference?

ut was in control of the conference before any of this happened...and it didn't affect you personally at all...

and it didn't keep ku from dominating and winning a title in bball...while stomping all over ut along the way...

your melodrama is ****ing pointless....and weird...and stupid

keeping the big 12 together is far and away the best thing for KU...KU should always be where ut is...that's where the money is, that's where the recruits are...

Blow it out your ass, Zackipoo. I don't live in Columbia or go to MU. I don't give a shit about new landscaping in front of chancellor's office or Alden's 401(k) plan. I care about football and about the program's national image, which is absolute dogshit right now. I don't care if you don't have any ****ing pride, that's not my concern.

I wanted the Big 10, a fresh start in a conference we'd have a better chance of winning in. I wanted Missouri to play games at stadiums that are an hour or two away from my house instead of six hours away from my house. I wanted to be able to watch the rest of them on TV every Saturday instead of hoping the MU might get picked up on a Fox Sports channel. And up until last Friday, it looked like it was all going to happen, but Alden didn't have what it takes to seal the deal and it all got blown away, and ever since there's been nothing but humiliation and groveling and Texas and Nebraska laughter, and you think it's supposed to be all better because some of our incompetent administrators are about to get raises and there might be enough cash left over to fill some potholes on campus? **** you.

I haven't been following the thread too closely. I thought KU was pretty close to jumping to the PAC-10 without K-State before the Big 12 was saved.

ArrowheadHawk · 06-17-2010, 06:33 PM

This frazod vs Zach feud is epic.

It's turned into Laz vs Metro. Shit is gettin' real!

|Zach| · 06-17-2010, 06:34 PM

I wanted the Big 10 as well.

NEWSFLASH KEYBOARD AD: THEY DIDN'T GET INVITED.

And you have no ****ing idea if it was Alden not sealing the deal or if they just played Missouri to do something else. You literally have no ****ing idea what is going on but you want to create fantasy so someone can be the villain. Only ignorant people go on and on about shit they don't know anything about.

If you think all the money Missouri would stand to lose by being in a lesser conference has to do with landscaping and a few people's 401k's then you have less understanding about this than I ever could have imagined.

It is great...a post before I called you coming in with a post that disregarded the reality of the situation and there you go spouting off about the situation in your fantasy land.

Yeah, but if they get the opportunity to leave, they weren't going to stick around for the sake of K-state.
