Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment
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.

With following Nebraska even gets in there... now if they could just do something about the play on the field.

Texas is by far the biggest state in the country. It is twice as big as any of the home states of the schools you listed, except for Florida (which has Florida State and Miami splitting football allegiances). It has more "T-shirt" fans than any school in the country.

And it consistently ranks top 5-10 in actual gameday attendance.

Texas is easily top five in total fanbase (even though it's impossible to completely quantify complete fanbase sizes). It has one of the highest alumni bases of any university. It sits in a huge state, where football is king, and most casual fans are UT fans.

Texas also has 141 universities whereas the other states you listed have around 50-70.

The original argument is ND bigger than UT? In fanbase I say yes, otherwise I agree...impossible to quantify.

ND probably has more of a national presence than Texas, but a lot of that is based in part on success 50+ years ago. ND's performance that last 10 years is nothing more than mediocre, especially considering its status as an "elite" program.

BYU reaches out to more than Texas and ND combined...

I have a feeling with their TV network, Satellite network and Millions upon Millions of Mormons starting to jump on, they are going to be a media monster going forward...

Unlimited amounts of revenue heading their way...

Texas has by far the richest AD in the country as far as public universities are concerned (both profit and donations). The only other one that comes close is tOSU and the rest are on a whole different [lower] level.

I was surprised to see that they averaged over 60,000 fans per game last year despite playing the likes of UNLV, San Diego State, and Wyoming.

I think they have huge potential if they joined a BCS conference. Hell, they won the national championship in 1984 and have been damn good recently - they would be an upgrade over A&M.

Lot of outlets are saying ND should be in the mix this year.


They all say that every year... if they get it right this year, I guess that will be 1 for the last 15.

I wouldn't argue that ND has a bigger national fanbase than UT. But UT is easily top 5 in terms of overall fanbase. They're right there, even just looking at football attendance numbers... and the number of casual fans in Texas who love UT is staggering.

Unless you/your family are grads or students at a different school, you're a UT football fan. And many of the lesser schools (North Texas, Rice, SMU, etc) fans would claim UT as "their" college football school.

Texas is likely #2. Its possible they're #1, but there is no chance that they are below #3 in terms of national following.

Alabama? Really?

Unequal revenue sharing would be an ATTRACTIVE feature to a program like Notre Dame. Why do you think they've been independent for so many years and they didn't join the Big Ten twenty years ago? They want more money, not equal with other conference members.

They would also get to keep their NBC contract in the Big 12, instead of falling in-line with the Big Ten contract.
Haha this guy ^^ is a total dumbass.

I don't care who goes where, I'm glad to be B10. The local yokels on radio out here are saying there will be no B12 within 2 years and trying to figure out which schools the PAC12 would be good enough to accept.
F the PAC12.

Alabama are like the New York Yankees of the South. There's plenty of 'Bama fans in Georgia, Mississippi, & Tennessee.
