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.. |

You don't need a catcher for the Dutch Rudder. Only a tillerman.

Notre Dame is not joining a football conference. They make too much on their own and cannot craft their own schedule to have their toughest games sandwiched around twinkies as they have always done.

They also already have their own network, otherwise known as NBC.

@davidubben David Ubben Anybody ignoring Oklahoma's silence on the "We <3 Big 12!" press release front today isn't paying enough attention. |

it's amazing they went through all that nonsense the first time to save a conference that was still only months from falling apart....
jesus, I hate the Big East...but I don't really see a landing spot that makes good sense for KU....

The big question in all of this is if ku is really tied to KSU, OU is tied to OSU, and TX is tied to Tech or Baylor.
If not, then the Pac-12 would definitely prefer a TX, OU, MU, KU addition. But if TX and OU have to bring little brother along, then that complicates things. |

Missouri isn't going to the PAC no matter how much HH drones on about it in this thread.
OU+OSU+Tech do I bet. |

As far as KU/KSU go, I don't think they are "tied" to each other. I'd believe that both schools, and the state, would prefer that they remain in the same conference, but if it comes down to one or the other going to a larger conference without the other - they won't stand in the way. As far as the Big 12 goes, it was only a matter of time before the conference was no more. It was doomed from the moment the "expansion" talks started. |
