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 know, compared to how perennially bad KU is at football, I think they have quite a few fans. You can't expect fans to get jazzed up like Nebraska or Texas football when you are one of the worst football programs in the Big 12. For being predicted to be so bad this year, and playing McNeese State, they had 41K fans last Saturday. That is alot more than alot of Pac 12 schools can say..

To be fair, we don't know how many of the 41k were te opponents fans.

Reports from Texas Tech and Missouri rivals sites today make it look like the Big 12-3 might survive in some sort of reformed conference.
Key remains what OU does. If OU says "screw it," I think the era of the superconference is here. If OU stays put in some form of the Big 12, I think we get to do this dance ALL over again sometime in the future.

Not a mizzou fan, just casually watch and root for them as a local team and hate the jayhawks because of their fans.
But why are most against the big east? I think it is ideal for them. They get to go into agreat bball conf. Which would hopefully down the line improve recruiting. Make the dance as often as they do now in the b12. But going there and possibly owning the football conf. Would get you a bcs game. Just beat your one or two great teams on your schedule, if the are on your schedule. go undefeated and with help maybe get a title game? Or am I wrng on this assumption? If they go the route of superconferences, being in one where you do not beat up on one another would be better. |

Like I said, I'm not as opposed to it as I thought I'd be. That said, I think I would rather go the SEC, take the lumps and improve the program. There's no question in my mind that MU's football program will be better for a move to the SEC, even if the record doesn't reflect it. Oh, and the girls in the SEC are HAWT. I'd love to take some road trips to Georgia or Ol' Miss...
