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.. |

ESPN NEWS - Rumors of KU going to the Big East have started. Likely to create a Basketball powerhouse conference.

I have been reading lots of rumors about Kansas being invited to the Big East, but I'd take it with a major grain of salt

So, let's assume that both MU/NU go to the Big 10 & the South schools bolt for the Pac 10.....when exactly does this all take place? This year....next year.....5 years....2 weeks ago?

I would honestly love to go to the Big East, but that rumor is about as credible as a crackhead applying for a loan to start a new business.

If the Big 12 dissolves then the Big 10 will have swiped schools from the Big East as well as the Big 12. The Big East will need to replace schools and it is a basketball heavy conference. If the Big 12 doesn't dissolve then the Big East will have only lost 1 school because Notre Dame will have taken the place MU/Neb and KU won't need to move. so right now it looks like KU will stay in the Big 12 or move to the Big East. unless of course the big east doesn't want KSU ![]()

all of it is speculative crap but this much smoke usually means a fire of some kind.

I hope you meant Big 10 when you said Big East. I can't imagine a scenario where a team plays more than one season as a lame duck.
