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 guess this means MU doesn't want to go to the SEC? Why in the world would they do this if that's what they wanted?

Why would they want to change that? And while I put little stock in leaks from official sources, I put even less stock in official statements. |

This is the craziest thing I've ever followed, info is changing literally by the minute.
Texas Tech Rivals guy completely denies the report out of Waco. ChrisLevel Contrary to other reports #TexasTech not threatening legal action against anyone. Simply not true. |

He is. K-State is a decent example of that, although almost all of that comes from Private Donor Funds. But it still stands. IF KSU went to a smaller non-BCS conference, do you think those donor dollars would continue to flow in at the same rate? I think not.

Nobody is saying that anyone has threatened to sue. Even if the Waco report is accurate, nobody there is saying that anyone has threatened to sue. They're only saying they won't waive their right to sue. That alone is sufficient to botch the whole works due to the SEC's conditional vote. Texas Tech could absolutely refuse to sign that waiver without threatening to sue anyone. And while I'm not taking that report at face value, I've watched Mizzou's leadership dick up pretty much everything they've dealt with of late. Like I said, it certainly sounds just dumb enough for Mizzou to have done it.
