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. http://www.wndu.com/sports/headlines/92447574.html Last edited by Mr. Laz; 06-10-2010 at 02:57 PM.. |

The Longhorn Network Launches Today, And Literally Nobody Can Watch It
http://deadspin.com/5834774/the-long...y-can-watch-it Tonight, at 6pm Austin time, the controversial Longhorn Network will go on the air. 24-hour coverage will start immediately, giving you the latest and most in-depth UT coverage available. And there's absolutely no way for you or anyone else to watch. Go ahead, check your local cable provider. Nothing. That's because, despite months of hype, ESPN has had trouble signing contracts with cable operators. And they're scrambling: just yesterday, Verizon FIOS agreed to a deal, but that won't go into effect until September 1st. Time Warner Cable, which covers most of Austin and the proximate viewing area, is in negotiations, but nothing's close to done. Comcast has barely had talks with ESPN, and DirecTV hasn't shown interest. The holdup can be traced to two things. First, ESPN wants a 40-cents-per-subscriber fee from cable operators across the South. That might be a bargain in Texas, but are there enough Longhorn fans in New Mexico or Louisiana to make it worth the cable companies' while to raise prices? Second, the debate over airing high school games has come late in the negotiating process, and the cable companies who thought they were getting that programming are lowering their offers. ESPN has confirmed that the channel will not stream online, so there will be literally no way to watch the Longhorn Network. They will full programming running through the weekend and beyond, with highlights, previews and full studio shows, and unless ESPN's business folks pull some last-second magic, it will be a costly exercise in futility.

I like how 2 teams have left the conference while another has announced it'll be looking somewhere else and Nostradamus here says Notre Dame will be looking into joining The Big 12.

Alternatively, you could laugh at him for being a short, fat, pasty ginger who plays the Chicken Dance professionally. Either way, really.

Too bad I have blonde hair. You calling other men hideous while rocking an avatar with a bunch of men in underwear totally isn't gay or anything.

The Big 12 is like a car wreck. You don't want to look, but you can't help it.

And we're off. NY Times is reporting that A&M has informed the Big 12 they intend to leave the conference. |

More proof that Tom Osborne was right. You now have a Texas team that's decided it won't put up with this conference.
