Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 480

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.

Harvey Perlman is a lawyer, so I'm not too worried about this

You shouldn't be. It's not your money that we're gonna take.

Half the people involved in this on both sides are lawyers. Your confidence in Perlman is touching but naive.

So Perlman is the new Bill Callahan? Excellent.

Boren said the Pac-10 offer was for five Big 12 schools - Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech - to join as a group. Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott visited the schools earlier this month to extend the invitations.

Wow. There would have been some disenfranchised folks on this board if the Pac10 deal went through.

Seems like you remember Sam Hall sucking his cock at every turn as well, while the rest of the board knew he would be an absolute failure.

Bill Calihan, I still can't believe he even got that job. It was almost as fun as KSU haveing Ron Prince.

Don't get too excited about building that new practice facility with the money from NU

Yeah. At least we were fairly skeptical of him. After 06 I thought we had a decent coach that may win us some games here and there, but I knew exactly what he was after 07, a turd.

Callahan was outright worshiped by Sam Hall and the likes.

I just hope the same isn't said about me when it come to Turner Gill. Only time will tell but I will eat my crow if Gill sucks.

I don't think it can come close to the Callahan worship that Sam Hall displayed, even if he wins 10 games in his first year.

I think it has to do more w/ the contract than if they can prove damages. I'm pretty sure the Big 12 contract states you pay a penalty no matter what of a certain % for each year you do not give adequate notice.

**mikeyis4dcats.** · 06-24-2010, 07:22 PM

the Big 12 was formed under Delaware corporate law, which is the most thoroughly validated corporate law in the country. I'm quite sure whomever drafted the charter made a pretty strong contract.
