Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 116

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.

You saying KU has a bigger national football presence than Iowa? Or anyone for that matter?

KChiefs1 · 06-07-2010, 03:07 PM

Missouri has more in common with Iowa than Kansas has with Iowa.
That's one of the reasons of manyfor why Mizzou is a better fit for the Big Ten.

Are you reeruned or just pretending? Iowa has no national presence in anything. KU has national presence in basketball. And even though BB doesn't matter when compared to football, it's still better than NOTHING. Hope that helped.

Just becasue your school has no football program is no reason to be ignorant of college football in general. I get that recent events have made KU fan a little bitter but come on, you really don't know anything about Iowa football?

Nobody outside of Iowa knows anything about Iowa football.

I know you won the last Orange Bowl, that's about it. There are only a few national powerhouses in football and Iowa is not one of them. There are only a few national powerhouses in basketball and KU is one of them.

what are you talking about? they have ended the season ranked 5 out of the last 10 years. they won a BCS bowl last year - the same one KU fans are so fond of crowing about. They are 5-3 in bowl games in the last decade. And, most media have them around #10 preseason for 2010.

This is hilaritarded, and I have no affiliation or affinity for Iowa.
