Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 595

Mr. Laz · 02:57 PM

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.

Gotcha, sounds like a genius plan.

He clearly didn't major in geography.

It's alright, being hated has merit!

At least he can be original with it instead of being a tigerboard tool.

Fescoe must be in the fetal position at this point.

Guess coming back with a "u mad bro?" macro is just as clever as the kU then, no?

They wouldn't be suing to keep them in the Big XII. They would be suing them for damages arising from their breaching of the contract.

He is probably holding KK tightly in a corner somewhere...

I'm told the statement from B12 will clear things up. Also appears some have given assurances they won't sue (OU, OSU, TT, UT & possibly MU)

This is a bad afterschool movie. lol

From Texags board...

Fact: Beebe sends a letter saying no lawsuits.

Fact: OU President makes waves by saying OU is looking.

Implication: if OU leaves, Big 12 dissolves.

Then the small schools, who may not have a soft landing, start panicing (Baylor, K State, ISU).

OU motivates the smaller schools to take the heat by sticking their necks out and blocking the A&M move, but OU does not get the blame. Baylor does.

OU does the heavy lifting, takes the indirect blame, while UT is deemed innocent of any meddling. Very clever. Because if UT had threatened to leave causing the small schools to scurry, it would be easy to cry foul. With OU threatening, everyone buys it as legit.

All the while OU and UT, hand in hand, getting what they want.

Very clever indeed. Very clever.
