Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment - Page 249

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.

Keitzman is right here.

Perkins can't hang out for a year as a lame duck right now with all that's going on.

Yeah, that sentence he said about recruiting different players was pretty telling.

I'm sure Self would wait and see what actually happens before jumping ship. I have a feeling he would even stick with KU if we went to a mid-major (assuming there was a plan to get back into the BCS soon, and we could still pay his contract).

But that was before the AD announced his resignation.

Kinda reminds me of 2003. But much worse.

Really? Why do you sound so sure? Has he ever exhibited anything to make you think he would like to make that change? I have missed it if he has.

Just looking at the current "speculation" that OSU might end up in a power conference, the Pac 10. Pickens having all that money, and it being Bill's alma mater, is why I say what I do.

We can't take off, or add, anything specific because no one knows. Just change it to "Conference Realignment".

So I have a friend who works in I.T. in the athletic department at Mizzou and I asked him on what was going on there on facebook. He replied, "We are proud members of the Big12 conference."

imagine that ... a MUron to stupid/arrogant to see that these threads about about the Big 12, not just MU.

Actually they are pretty much about the College conferences as a whole.

but i imagine that concept is too much for your pea sized MU brain to handle.
