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 are dozens of attractive games on every single day. Do you honestly think a television network is going to offer an exclusive rights contract and pay tens of millions for the right to televise KU v. Iowa State? Hell no it won't. There are way too many good basketball games every night. There's no mens college basketball program in the entire country that has the juice to get a major network to pay any appreciable amount of money for an exclusive rights deal. You absolutely have to stop ignoring market realities here. There are too many options out there for the networks for them to put any appreciable money into a television contract with KU.

![]() Why do you think that is? And yet there is something in you that wants to continue to make an ass out of yourself by insisting that bball generates more revenue than fball. |

What's your point? He was the d-cordinator on two different teams that went to a title game and turned around Nebraskas defense when he was the DC. Also won a super bowl with the Niners as a defensive backs coach. He was qualified to be a head coach, Turner Gil isn't.

Well he must suck then that's why he was on the list of several other BCS schools also when they were looking for coaches. Even your AD thinks he is a great coach. At the time Nebraska needed a defensive minded coach, or did you forget the 76 pts that KU hung on them.

I have a better question for you. Are you a CU fan, and if so, are you buying the theory that the MWC would be better for CU than the PAC 10? |
