Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 498

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.

yea I know it was photoshopped. But you're a CP legend now. It's just frapping hilarious. I don't mean that in a demeaning manner. Everybody has a photo like that.

There won't be a championship game. No divisions either. Round robin in football and 100% home and homes in basketball.

"Internet tough guy" was a great idea for a costume. Congrats. It looks like it took a lot of preparation to pull it off. The dedication it must have taken shrink by 4 inches, lose all of your muscle tone, and gain 20 pounds just for a Halloween costume is commendable.

You're like the guys at Missouri-Rolla who grow beards for 6 months leading up to St. Paddy's day. Fantastic work all around.

Maybe I'll go as a reeruned guy for Halloween. In order to be as dedicated as you were, I'm going to need to start bashing my head on rocks now.

For some reason this post made me laugh into a coughing fit.

That takes a lot. I don't really LOL all that often when reading this board.

Is this how you live your life? In a constant state of defensive aggression? Do you do curls thinking about all the people that tease you? Jesus, lighten the **** up.

When you say reerun match, do you mean a fight between reeruns; or a reerun-off, with a number of tests and competitions to determine who's the bigger reerun?

I guess it doesn't matter. I take billay.

Texas latest to benefit from ESPN tossing around wads of cash
Posted by John Taylor on November 5, 2010, 2:15 PM EDT
It was long thought that the allure of a greater future financial reward is what kept Texas — and thus, three other fellow Big 12 schools — from ditching their current conference and spooning with the Pac-10 this past June.

Today, that thought has been confirmed, and in mind-boggling fa$hion.

According to Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com, Texas and ESPN have reached an agreement for the latter to distribute the Longhorn Network starting in the fall of 2011 and continuing through 2021. The length of the deal for a fledgling television network that won’t even be launched for another year is far from the most stunning aspect of this story; rather, the fact that ESPN will shell out $12 million per year for the rights to televise UT sports is a landmark, game-changing shift on the collegiate sports landscape.

With the ESPN deal combined with their conference revenues — yes, the ESPN deal is on top of that — the UT athletic department will generate at least $30 million in revenue next year, and at least $32 million annually starting in 2012. To put that into perspective, Big Ten schools reportedly receive $20 million annually from their various deals, while SEC schools receive in the neighborhood of $17 million.

The Pac-10 had forecast between $18-$20 million annually for each school if the Big 12 members had bolted westward. The deal breaker for the Longhorns, however, was the insistence that they would have to give up the rights to their own network in order to join the conference.

Based on today’s news, it’s not hard to see exactly why Texas remains a member of the Big 12 instead of making preparations for a 2011 Pac-10 launch. And hard to see how much longer Texas will remain a part of a conference before striking out on their own.

I wonder what is keeping UT from going Independent? They have to have evaluated the prospect.

Nobody would play them and the automatic BCS bid for winning the conference.

You don't think they could keep some of their natural rivalries, add the current flavors of the month aka Boise State, Utah and set up a schedule like Notre Dame has?
