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.. |

The Chiefs and Royals would not be able to make it w/out the help of Kansas residents, and vice versa. Kansas residents are about 40-50% of the population of the greater Kansas City area. You seem to think that people in Kansas, shouldn't root for the KC area pro teams.

People pour into Missouri when they don't want to eat at a Chilli's. Kansas City, MO has character.

We'll see what happens. If it comes to that, Memphis did just fine as a basketball powerhouse being a mid-major. We'll be aight. I don't think KU basketball is going anywhere. But neither are MU's teams (see what I did there, hehe?).

I know you're smarter than that and I know you realize that is a horrible argument on your part. Somebody already brought up the theory that you don't know what a metropolitan area entails, but you do.

This post: In which the author posits that the KC sports fans who get the most out of all of Kansas City are those who don't hold die-hard allegiances to either Mizzou or KU. Like the author, for example. The author, while admittedly an MU fan, doesn't hate KU (or KSU). The author has no problem with going into Kansas for things he enjoys, though he has to cede that Johnson County white flight has historically and currently ****ed over KC at-large. The author wishes to emphasize a certain point: "**** Whitey."

Wow, didn't realize there was that big a rivalry between those two states. Hell I didn't realize there was even any difference between those two states.

This is true. Although, there are a FEW good restaurants in Overland Park. Your point stands, however.
