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.. |

I doubt it, not as long as the Big 12 gets another comparable school to replace A&M.
Try not to salivate so much at the misfortune of the Big 12. seriously ... wipe the drool off your chin.

I was wondering something along the same lines; does this constitute a dilution of the agreement such that material terms have changed? Of course it all comes down to the verbiage in that contract.

whatever ... we can almost feel you jumping up and down at your keyboard like a happy puppy, every time you think something is going to go wrong for the Big 12.
There is nothing more cornhusker nation wants than to say that "The Big 12 died because we left". Nebraska fans have always been insufferable football snobs who can barely keep the condescension out of your voices when talking

exactly. nothing. I get it, they got their fancy boy contract. but I'm glad they didn't join the big 10 cause I frigging hate them! I grew up in Michigan and still root for blue. the only team I really hate is notre lame. I respect OH St and love the rivalry, but when I see ND on tv all the damn time...they can be 0-5 and still be the primo game. **** that! kiss my ass.
and to top it off I bet there ain't 3 catholics on the whole damn team. good riddance weis. go chiefs and go blue. game #2 - first night game in the big house. ND - you're gonna get your ****ing teeth kicked in.

Probably VaTech.
Though there are still some folks that say MU controls their own destiny in that regard. Whatever happens, I'm sure Alden will **** it up.
