Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 512

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.

Negative chance.

There is a better chance Blue Springs High School joins the Big 12.

I have "inside info".

I'd say you are...not accurate, with your statement.

After Rockhurst whips their asses tomorrow, BS might as well disband their football team.

Heh, BS will just have to keep playing great football with the players available to them in their district.

If B10 would have allowed KU to join they'd have accepted in a heartbeat. Now you are down to being bitterman about those schools that have moved to greener pastures and it makes you look even dumber than you already are.

I'm done with my academic phase of my life. I couldn't care less about how the Big10 are "better schools".

They are worse in sports I care about than the Big12 (football and basketball) so I really have no opinion on what Kansas would have done if offered the by the Big 10.

If that were the case then I'd be jumping at KU to get into the Ivy League. That ain't happenin either.

If the pastures were so much greener then why do Nebraska fans keep posting here? This is Kansas City. Big 12 country through and through. That's what I don't understand

So wait we left because we can't beat Texas and they embarrass in basketball but yet we beat them 2 of the last 3 times?

I guess you're a professional athlete because you still care about sports. I mean, you don't care about academics because you're done with your academic part of life.

I'm wondering if his balding before 30 was a sign of dementia? He certain talks like it.
