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 mean c'mon - burying it in the middle of a thread that only has about 15 active viewers? Poor form. Or maybe it's more of a cry for help - kinda like eating a bunch of pills and showing up on your mothers doorstep or something. Hey...eating a bunch of pills...now there's an idea for ya! Just remember to post first and you'll get a bunch of people pretending that they care if you live like that WebGem guy.

It's not necessarily that football is more popular and makes more money than basketball. It's how it's set up. Yes, football makes more than basketball, but basketball would be a major player in realignment if there was a BCS basketball style postseason tournament. The NCAA keeps most of the money from the NCAA tournament deals, whereas the BCS is set up to give almost all proceeds back to the school. The NCAA is really supported based on NCAA basketball, but they hoard the money. In the BCS, it's the schools that hoard the money that's why a NCAA Football playoff is not going to happen despite most fans wanting it. That is why I kind of hope the 4 super conferences happen, and they say f*** off to the NCAA. That would help Kansas make much more revenue.
