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.. |

There is no way the Big Ten will take ISU...the Hawkeyes already own that state & ISU wouldn't bring anything new to the conference. I'm not sure how much KSU & KU would bring either...Wichita & Topeka are decent size but I think the Big Ten is looking for a new footprint which means MD or VA or Rutgers or Pitt.

I think when it becomes obvious there will be 4 Super Conferences, Notre Dame will make the Big Ten move because the writing will be on the wall for a Final Four for the National Championship & ND won't be left out of that scenario.

Mike Alden is such an idiot. He is surprised OU is talking about leaving? Really? He needs to be sent packing today. He is completely incompetent.

Sure, Mike, the school's ok, but the conference you seem to be wanting to support is going up in flames. I'd love to see him echo the statement of Pinkel a day or so ago. |

ESPN's Joe Schad is reporting that OU and Texas are again talking with the Pac 12 about adding Texas, Texas Tech, OU and OSU to form the Pac 16. Doesn't sound like anything set in stone, but it's being tossed around. |

I wonder if that happens, it will just be what they were talking about where ISU, KSU, Kansas, and Mizzou go to the Big East. Or maybe Mizzou and ND end up going to Big10.
